[PATCH 2/2] reftable: rename scratch buffer

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Both `struct block_writer` and `struct reftable_writer` have a `buf`
member that is being reused to optimize the number of allocations.
Rename the variable to `scratch` to clarify its intend and provide a
comment explaining why it exists.
