How to skip a deployment job pointing at a particular environment if the current branch is not allowed to deploy to this environment?

Body

Hi,

we are using https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/targeting-different-environments/using-environments-for-deployment#deployment-branches-and-tags to restrict which branches can be used to deploy to which environments.

Is there a way to skip (instead of failing with Branch "foo" is not allowed to deploy to bar due to environment protection rules.) a deployment job pointing at a particular environment if the current branch is not allowed to deploy to this environment?

I know I can limit deployments to environment bar from branch foo and say: if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/foo' in the job spec, but I would like to keep the relationship between branches and environments in a single place.

Thanks!
