[PATCH v11 09/41] refs.c: make update_ref_write update a strbuf on failure

[Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>]

Change update_ref_write to also update an error strbuf on failure.
This makes the error available to ref_transaction_commit callers if the
transaction failed due to update_ref_sha1/write_ref_sha1 failures.
