fix(env): scope branch-override lookup by branchId

`findVariableByNaturalKey` listed environment variables by
`(projectId, class, key)` only and filtered by branch client-side, but
the list endpoint is paginated (default 100 rows, ordered createdAt
asc). Once a project accumulates more than a page of preview overrides
for a key, the newest branch's row falls off the first page, so the
lookup returns null even though the row exists.

`project env update --branch` then reports the variable as not found,
and `project env add --branch`'s pre-check also misses it and POSTs,
which the server rejects with a 409. The two paths contradict each
other and neither can touch an existing branch override.

Pass `branchId` to the list query for branch-scoped lookups (the
endpoint already supports the filter) so the server returns the single
exact row regardless of how many branches exist. Role-scoped lookups
are unchanged.
