[PATCH 4/9] refs: allow to skip creation of reflog entries

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3845 bytes --]

The ref backends do not have any way to disable the creation of reflog
entries. This will be required for upcoming ref format migration logic
so that we do not create any entries that didn't exist in the original
ref database.

Provide a new `REF_SKIP_CREATE_REFLOG` flag that allows the caller to
disable reflog entry creation.
