[GSoC][PATCH v6 3/6] builtin/for-each-ref: factor out core logic into a helper

[Meet Soni <meetsoni3017@gmail.com>]

The implementation of `git for-each-ref` is monolithic within
`cmd_for_each_ref()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other
commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs list`
subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function.

Introduce a new `for-each-ref.h` header to define the public interface
for this shared logic. It contains the declaration for a new helper
function, `for_each_ref_core()`, and a macro for the common usage
options.

Move the option parsing, filtering, and formatting logic from
`cmd_for_each_ref()` into a new helper function named
`for_each_ref_core()`. This helper is made generic by accepting the
command's usage string as a parameter.

The original `cmd_for_each_ref()` is simplified to a thin wrapper that
is only responsible for defining its specific usage array and calling
the shared helper.
