walker.c: use ref transaction for ref updates

Switch to using ref transactions in walker_fetch(). As part of the refactoring
to use ref transactions we also fix a potential memory leak where in the
original code if write_ref_sha1() would fail we would end up returning from
the function without free()ing the msg string.

This changes the locking slightly for walker_fetch. Previously the code would
lock all refs before writing them but now we do not lock the refs until the
commit stage. There is thus a very short window where changes could be done
locally during the fetch which would be overwritten when the fetch completes
and commits its transaction. But this window should be reasonably short.
Even if this race does trigger, since both the old code and the new code
just overwrites the refs to the new values without checking or comparing
them with the previous value, this is not too dissimilar to a similar scenario
where you first do a ref change locally and then later do a fetch that
overwrites the local change. With this in mind I do not see the change in
locking semantics to be critical.

Note that this function is only called when fetching from a remote HTTP
repository onto the local (most of the time single-user) repository which
likely means that the type of collissions that the previous locking would
protect against and cause the fetch to fail for to be even more rare.

refs.c: make lock_ref_sha1 static

No external callers reference lock_ref_sha1 any more so lets declare it static.

refs.c: remove the update_ref_lock function

Since we now only call update_ref_lock with onerr==QUIET_ON_ERR we no longer
need this function and can replace it with just calling lock_any_ref_for_update
directly.

refs.c: remove the update_ref_write function

Since we only call update_ref_write from a single place and we only call it
with onerr==QUIET_ON_ERR we can just as well get rid of it and just call
write_ref_sha1 directly.

refs.c: remove lock_ref_sha1

lock_ref_sha1 was only called from one place in refc.c and only provided
a check that the refname was sane before adding back the initial "refs/"
part of the ref path name, the initial "refs/" that this caller had already
stripped off before calling lock_ref_sha1.

refs.c: make prune_ref use a transaction to delete the ref

Change prune_ref to delete the ref using a ref transaction. To do this we also
need to add a new flag REF_ISPRUNING that will tell the transaction that we
do not want to delete this ref from the packed refs. This flag is private to
refs.c and not exposed to external callers.

refs.c: make delete_ref use a transaction

Change delete_ref to use a ref transaction for the deletion. At the same time
since we no longer have any callers of repack_without_ref we can now delete
this function.

refs.c: pass the ref log message to _create/delete/update instead of _commit

Change the reference transactions so that we pass the reflog message
through to the create/delete/update function instead of the commit message.
This allows for individual messages for each change in a multi ref
transaction.

refs.c: pass NULL as *flags to read_ref_full

We call read_ref_full with a pointer to flags from rename_ref but since
we never actually use the returned flags we can just pass NULL here instead.

refs.c: pack all refs before we start to rename a ref

This means that most loose refs will no longer be present after the rename
which triggered a test failure since it assumes the file for an unrelated
ref would still be present after the rename.

refs.c: move the check for valid refname to lock_ref_sha1_basic

Move the check for check_refname_format from lock_any_ref_for_update
to lock_ref_sha1_basic. At some later stage we will get rid of
lock_any_ref_for_update completely.

This leaves lock_any_ref_for_updates as a no-op wrapper which could be removed.
But this wrapper is also called from an external caller and we will soon
make changes to the signature to lock_ref_sha1_basic that we do not want to
expose to that caller.

refs.c: add a new flag for transaction delete for refs we know are packed only

Add a new flag REF_ISPACKONLY that we can use in ref_transaction_delete.
This flag indicates that the ref does not exist as a loose ref andf only as
a packed ref. If this is the case we then change the commit code so that
we skip taking out a lock file and we skip calling delete_ref_loose.
Check for this flag and die(BUG:...) if used with _update or _create.

At the start of the transaction, before we even start locking any refs,
we add all such REF_ISPACKONLY refs to delnames so that we have a list of
all pack only refs that we will be deleting during this transaction.

refs.c: pass a skip list to name_conflict_fn

Allow passing a list of refs to skip checking to name_conflict_fn.
There are some conditions where we want to allow a temporary conflict and skip
checking those refs. For example if we have a transaction that
1, guarantees that m is a packed refs and there is no loose ref for m
2, the transaction will delete m from the packed ref
3, the transaction will create conflicting m/m

For this case we want to be able to lock and create m/m since we know that the
conflict is only transient. I.e. the conflict will be automatically resolved
by the transaction when it deletes m.

refs.c: propagate any errno==ENOTDIR from _commit back to the callers

In _commit, ENOTDIR can happen in the call to lock_ref_sha1_basic, either when
we lstat the new refname and it returns ENOTDIR or if the name checking
function reports that the same type of conflict happened. In both cases it
means that we can not create the new ref due to a name conflict.

For these cases, save the errno value and abort and make sure that the caller
can see errno==ENOTDIR.

Also start defining specific return codes for _commit, assign -1 as a generic
error and -2 as the error that refers to a name conflict. Callers can (and
should) use that return value inspecting errno directly.
