Merge branch 'dt/refs-backend-preamble'

In preparation for allowing different "backends" to store the refs
in a way different from the traditional "one ref per file in $GIT_DIR
or in a $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file" filesystem storage, reduce
direct filesystem access to ref-like things like CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
from scripts and programs.

* dt/refs-backend-preamble:
  git-stash: use update-ref --create-reflog instead of creating files
  update-ref and tag: add --create-reflog arg
  refs: add REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG flag
  git-reflog: add exists command
  refs: new public ref function: safe_create_reflog
  refs: break out check for reflog autocreation
  refs.c: add err arguments to reflog functions
