[PATCH v4 1/2] refs.c: refactor check_refname_component()

[Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx>]

The core logic of this function is factored out to provide more
information when the refname is invalid: what part that is and exact
what is wrong with it. This will be useful for a coming function that
has to turn a string into a valid refname component.
