This isn't needed in refs.h, so let's put it in refs-internal.h where
e.g. "enum ref_transaction_state" now lives:

A bit more odd is that this series ends up with a
ref_transaction_begin() that doesn't correspond to its ref_store_*()
parent, i.e. the others pass the ref store for you, but now we omit the
flags too.
I see why you did that, to avoid tweaking every existing
ref_transaction_begin() caller.
But isn't something like the below a better approach? We can introduce a
refs-internal.h-only flag enum, and then just have a new
ref_store_transaction_begin_no_hook() called from these new
files-backend.c users.
The diff on top is a bit verbose, but the exposed API is cleaner
(presumably no "public" user should be allowed to skip the hook), and
the overall diff if this is squashed in is smaller.
