Added branch support in configuration and improved installation logic

- Added branch variables for all repositories (TICKETS_BRANCH, BACKEND_BRANCH, etc.) to the bin/install.cfg.example file.
- The bin/install.sh script now uses branch variables from the config instead of hardcoding:
  * Replaced hardcoded branches with dynamic parameters $..._BRANCH
  * Simplified the structure of update_repository calls with alignment
- Added interactive check for the existence of install.cfg:
  * Implemented 3 input attempts with handling for invalid responses
  * Automatic creation of the file from the example upon confirmation
- Added forced termination after creating settings_vars.py
  with a reminder about the need to configure PostgreSQL
- Improved error handling with explicit exit codes (exit 0/1)

These changes allow for flexible branch configuration through the config file
and make the installation process more user-friendly through checks and prompts.
