[PATCH v2 3/4] fetch: allow passing a transaction to `s_update_ref()`

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5543 bytes --]

The handling of ref updates is completely handled by `s_update_ref()`,
which will manage the complete lifecycle of the reference transaction.
This is fine right now given that git-fetch(1) does not support atomic
fetches, so each reference gets its own transaction. It is quite
inflexible though, as `s_update_ref()` only knows about a single
reference update at a time, so it doesn't allow us to alter the
strategy.

This commit prepares `s_update_ref()` and its only caller
`update_local_ref()` to allow passing an external transaction. If none
is given, then the existing behaviour is triggered which creates a new
transaction and directly commits it. Otherwise, if the caller provides a
transaction, then we only queue the update but don't commit it. This
optionally allows the caller to manage when a transaction will be
committed.

Given that `update_local_ref()` is always called with a `NULL`
transaction for now, no change in behaviour is expected from this
change.
