When updating a symref with update_symref it's currently not possible to
know for sure what was the previous value that was overwritten. Extend
refs_update_symref under a new function name, to record the value after
the ref has been locked if the caller of refs_update_symref_extended
requests it via a new variable in the function call. Keep the original
refs_update_symref function with the same signature, but now as
a wrapper around refs_update_symref_extended.

Notes:
v4: new patch
v5: - added before_target to reftables backend
- added an extra safety check for transaction's existence in refs.c
v6: - no change
v7: - remove the whole before_target concept from the backends and
handle checking it in refs.c instead (thanks Karthik)
- rename the before_target to referent which is how the same concept
is called in the backends
- change commit prefix to be more in line with project standards
v8: no change
v9: - instead of adding parameters to refs_update_symref, rename what
was in v8 as refs_update_symref_extended and make refs_update_symref
a wrapper for that. This significantly reduces the number of files
that need to be touched, and avoids adding a lot of dummy NULL-s
in unrelated places.
v10: no change
v11: no change
