[PATCH v10 8/8] refs: make errno output explicit for refs_resolve_ref_unsafe

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@xxxxxxxxxx>

This introduces refs_resolve_ref_unsafe_with_errno(), which makes the API
contract for the errno output explicit. The implementation still relies on
the global errno variable to ensure no side effects of this refactoring.

lock_ref_oid_basic() in files-backend.c is the only caller of refs_resolve_ref()
that needs error information to make logic decisions, so update that caller
