[PATCH v11 08/41] refs.c: add an err argument to delete_ref_loose

[Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>]

Add an err argument to delete_loose_ref so that we can pass a descriptive
error string back to the caller. Pass the err argument from transaction
commit to this function so that transaction users will have a nice error
string if the transaction failed due to delete_loose_ref.

Add a new function unlink_or_err that we can call from delete_ref_loose. This
function is similar to unlink_or_warn except that we can pass it an err
argument. If err is non-NULL the function will populate err instead of
printing a warning().
