Allow the caller to specify that it only wants to update the symref if
it does not already exist. Silently ignore the error from the
transaction API if the symref already exists.

Notes:
v4: new patch
v5: no change
v6: - switched from bool to int for create_only
- refactored logic in refs_update_symref with goto as layed out by
Junio
v7: - change commit prefix to be more in line with project standards
- refactored code to accommodate changes in the first patch, but
otherwise no change
v8: no change
v9: - no change (except for following through the
refs_update_symref_extended refactoring)
