[PATCH v2 05/15] reftable/iter: drop double-checking logic

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

The filtering ref iterator can be used to only yield refs which are not
in a specific skip list. This iterator has an option to double-check the
results it returns, which causes us to seek the reference we are about
to yield via a separate table such that we detect whether the reference
that the first iterator has yielded actually exists.

The value of this is somewhat dubious, and I cannot think of any usecase
where this functionality should be required. Furthermore, this option is
never set in our codebase, which means that it is essentially untested.
And last but not least, the `struct reftable_table` that is used to
implement it is about to go away.

So while we could refactor the code to not use a `reftable_table`, it
very much feels like a wasted effort. Let's just drop this code.
