Stop redundantly NULL-ing the last element of the refs structure,
which was retrieved via calloc() and is thus guaranteed to be
pre-NULL'd.
This code dates back to b888d61c83 ("Make fetch a builtin",
2007-09-10), where wasn't any reason to do this back then either, it's
just something left over from when git-fetch was initially introduced.
The initial motivation for this change was to make a subsequent change
which'll also modify the refs variable smaller, since it won't have to
copy this redundant "NULL the last + 1 item" pattern.
