[PATCH] refs.c: add a function to append a reflog entry to a fd

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>]

From: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>

Break out the code to create the string and writing it to the file
descriptor from log_ref_write and add it into a dedicated function
log_ref_write_fd. For now this is only used from log_ref_write,
but later on we will call this function from reflog transactions too,
which means that we will end up with only a single place,
where we write a reflog entry to a file instead of the current two
places (log_ref_write and builtin/reflog.c).

[sb: replaced sprintf by snprintf for security reasons, 
     which was there in the beginning (6de08ae688b9f2, 2006-06-17, 
     Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref>), but got lost in (8ac65937d032ad, 
     2007-01-26, Make sure we do not write bogus reflog entries.)

This is also part of the ref-transaction-reflog series, but is 
sufficiently independant, that I'd argue it's a general code hygiene thing,
we can use in any case.

Applies on master.

Compared to the last send of this patch[1], there was one change in the print
function. Replaced sprintf by snprintf for security reasons.
