[PATCH] read-cache: hide refresh_cache_entry()

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

Once upon a time, there was a merge strategy called "recursive",
which was added in 6d297f8137 (Status update on merge-recursive in
C, 2006-07-08).  This implementation came with its own machinery
that creates an in-core index entry, and then refreshed the index
entry it created by calling the refresh_cache_entry() function
borrowed from the read-cache.c API.  refresh_cache_entry() used to
be file-scope static, but was made public with this change.

When ad45b327c0 (merge-recursive.[ch]: thoroughly debug these,
2025-04-08) finally removed the entire code for the "recursive"
merge strategy, the last external caller of refresh_cache_entry()
went with it.

Hide the low-level implementation detail again by making it a
file-scope static function.  The external callers would indirectly
call it when they call make_cache_entry() or rename_index_entry_at()
external interface, which "ort" (the successor of "recursive") does.
