[PATCH 18/29] refs: allow log-only updates

[Michael Haggerty <mhagger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: David Turner <dturner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The refs infrastructure learns about log-only ref updates, which only
update the reflog.  Later, we will use this to separate symbolic
reference resolution from ref updating.
