Fix check for branch protection state

Since the changes of 939ade2b9f98b3e1569332270a7ab16ce7d70b4a we observe that pipelines are executed on non-protected branches, which is not what we want.

GitLab's documentation was a bit unclear on the according CI variables CI_COMMIT_REF_PROTECTED and CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_PROTECTED, as stated in this stack overflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59023344/3018229

We need to explicitly check for the variable values to be "true" instead of just checking whether they are set.
