When copying refs, we execute `write_copy_table()` to write the new
table. As the names are given to us via `arg->newname` and
`arg->oldname`, respectively, we optimize away some allocations by
assigning those fields to the reftable records we are about to write
directly, without duplicating them. This requires us to cast the input
to `char *` pointers as they are in fact constant strings. Later on, we
then unset the refname for all of the records before calling
`reftable_log_record_release()` on them.
We also do this when assigning the "HEAD" constant, but here we do not
cast because its type is `char[]` by default. It's about to be turned
into `const char *` though once we enable `-Wwrite-strings` and will
thus cause another warning.
It's quite dubious whether this micro-optimization really helps. We're
about to write to disk anyway, which is going to be way slower than a
small handful of allocations. Let's drop the optimization altogther and
instead copy arguments to simplify the code and avoid the future warning
with `-Wwrite-strings`.
