The first parameter to QSORT is an array of 'struct reftable_record' so I don't
think it's possible to use strcmp() as the comparison function. We do, however,
use strcmp() internally to compare the ref records.

The validity of `reftable_ref_record_compare_name()` is checked by the first
loop. Since we're already sure of the order of 'recs' at this point (increasing
order), this loop is supposed to test the function for ' > 0' case.

The limiting as well as initial value for the array indices are all
different so I'm not sure how to go about this.
