The current state of the discussion on alternate ref backends is that
we're going to continue to store pseudorefs (e.g. CHERRY_PICK_HEAD) as
files in $GIT_DIR.  So this re-roll of the refs backend preamble
doesn't do anything to pseudorefs.  It just does reflog stuff.

In addition, this version removes the over-aggressive die() on reflog
update failure from v7.  It adds the REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG flag, as
Michael Haggerty suggested.  And it fixes commit message or two, as
suggested.  I believe this addresses all comments I've seen on v7.

This addresses Johannes Sixt's concerns too, by removing the offending
code.
