[WIP/PATCH v5 01/10] for-each-ref: extract helper functions out of grab_single_ref()

[Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>]

Extract two helper functions out of grab_single_ref(). Firstly,
new_refinfo() which is used to allocate memory for a new refinfo
structure and copy the objectname, refname and flag to it.
Secondly, match_name_as_path() which when given an array of patterns
and the refname checks if the refname matches any of the patterns
given while the pattern is a pathname, also while supporting wild
characters.

This is a preperatory patch for restructuring 'for-each-ref' and
eventually moving most of it to 'ref-filter' to provide the
functionality to similar commands via public API's.
