When 'git remote rm' or 'git remote prune' were used in a repository
with many refs, and needed to delete many remote-tracking refs, a lot
of time was spent deleting those refs since for each deleted ref,
repack_without_refs() was called to rewrite packed-refs without just
that deleted ref.
To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all
the refs that will be deleted, before calling delete_ref() to delete
each one completely. The call to repack_without_ref() in delete_ref()
then becomes a no-op, since packed-refs already won't contain any of
the deleted refs.

Note: remove_branches() no longer checks that the remote-tracking
branches it deletes point at the right object before deleting them
by passing the expected SHA-1 to delete_ref(). This was a required
change since all packed refs have been deleted already by the time
we call delete_ref(), which causes delete_ref() to fail if given an
expected SHA-1 to check. 'remote prune' already behaved this way.
