die_unterminated_line(), die_invalid_line(): new functions
Extract some helper functions for reporting errors. While we're at it,
prevent them from spewing unlimited output to the terminal. These
functions will soon have more callers.
These functions accept the problematic line as a `(ptr, len)` pair
rather than a NUL-terminated string, and `die_invalid_line()` checks
for an EOL itself, because these calling conventions will be
convenient for future callers. (Efficiency is not a concern here
because these functions are only ever called if the `packed-refs` file
is corrupt.)

prefix_ref_iterator: break when we leave the prefix
If the underlying iterator is ordered, then `prefix_ref_iterator` can
stop as soon as it sees a refname that comes after the prefix. This
will rarely make a big difference now, because `ref_cache_iterator`
only iterates over the directory containing the prefix (and usually
the prefix will span a whole directory anyway). But if *hint, hint* a
future reference backend doesn't itself know where to stop the
iteration, then this optimization will be a big win.
Note that there is no guarantee that the underlying iterator doesn't
include output preceding the prefix, so we have to skip over any
unwanted references before we get to the ones that we want.

ref_iterator: keep track of whether the iterator output is ordered
References are iterated over in order by refname, but reflogs are not.
Some consumers of reference iteration care about the difference. Teach
each `ref_iterator` to keep track of whether its output is ordered.
`overlay_ref_iterator` is one of the picky consumers. Add a sanity
check in `overlay_ref_iterator_begin()` to verify that its inputs are
ordered.

files_transaction_finish(): delete reflogs before references
If the deletion steps unexpectedly fail, it is less bad to leave a

Now the outside world interacts with the packed ref store only via the

files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed refs
When processing a `files_ref_store` transaction, it is sometimes
necessary to delete some references from the "packed-refs" file. Do
that using a reference transaction conducted against the
`packed_ref_store`.
This change further decouples `files_ref_store` from
`packed_ref_store`. It also fixes multiple problems, including the two
revealed by test cases added in the previous commit.
First, the old code didn't obtain the `packed-refs` lock until
`files_transaction_finish()`. This means that a failure to acquire the
`packed-refs` lock (e.g., due to contention with another process)
wasn't detected until it was too late (problems like this are supposed
to be detected in the "prepare" phase). The new code acquires the
`packed-refs` lock in `files_transaction_prepare()`, the same stage of
the processing when the loose reference locks are being acquired,
removing another reason why the "prepare" phase might succeed and the
"finish" phase might nevertheless fail.
Second, the old code deleted the loose version of a reference before
deleting any packed version of the same reference. This left a moment
when another process might think that the packed version of the
reference is current, which is incorrect. (Even worse, the packed
version of the reference can be arbitrarily old, and might even point
at an object that has since been garbage-collected.)
Third, if a reference deletion fails to acquire the `packed-refs` lock
altogether, then the old code might leave the repository in the
incorrect state (possibly corrupt) described in the previous
paragraph.
Now we activate the new "packed-refs" file (sans any references that
are being deleted) *before* deleting the corresponding loose
references. But we hold the "packed-refs" lock until after the loose
references have been finalized, thus preventing a simultaneous
"pack-refs" process from packing the loose version of the reference in
the time gap, which would otherwise defeat our attempt to delete it.

t1404: demonstrate two problems with reference transactions
Currently, a loose reference is deleted even before locking the
`packed-refs` file, let alone deleting any packed version of the
reference. This leads to two problems, demonstrated by two new tests:
* While a reference is being deleted, other processes might see the
old, packed value of the reference for a moment before the packed
version is deleted. Normally this would be hard to observe, but we
can prolong the window by locking the `packed-refs` file externally
before running `update-ref`, then unlocking it before `update-ref`'s
attempt to acquire the lock times out.
* If the `packed-refs` file is locked so long that `update-ref` fails
to lock it, then the reference can be left permanently in the
incorrect state described in the previous point.
In a moment, both problems will be fixed.

files_pack_refs(): use a reference transaction to write packed refs

packed-backend: don't adjust the reference count on lock/unlock
The old code incremented the packed ref cache reference count when
acquiring the packed-refs lock, and decremented the count when
releasing the lock. This is unnecessary because:
* Another process cannot change the packed-refs file because it is
locked.
* When we ourselves change the packed-refs file, we do so by first
modifying the packed ref-cache, and then writing the data from the
ref-cache to disk. So the packed ref-cache remains fresh because any
changes that we plan to make to the file are made in the cache first
anyway.
So there is no reason for the cache to become stale.
Moreover, the extra reference count causes a problem if we
intentionally clear the packed refs cache, as we sometimes need to do
if we change the cache in anticipation of writing a change to disk,
but then the write to disk fails. In that case, `packed_refs_unlock()`
would have no easy way to find the cache whose reference count it
needs to decrement.
This whole issue will soon become moot due to upcoming changes that
avoid changing the in-memory cache as part of updating the packed-refs
on disk, but this change makes that transition easier.
