Rename is_refname_available() to verify_refname_available() and change
its return value from 1 for success to 0 for success, to be consistent
with our error-handling convention. In a moment it will also get a
"struct strbuf *err" parameter.

If two references that D/F conflict (e.g., "refs/foo" and
"refs/foo/bar") are created in a single transaction, the old code
discovered the problem only after the "commit" phase of
ref_transaction_commit() had already begun. This could leave some
references updated and others not, which violates the promise of
atomicity.
Instead, check for such conflicts during the "locking" phase:
* Teach is_refname_available() to take an "extras" parameter that can
contain extra reference names with which the specified refname must
not conflict.
* Change lock_ref_sha1_basic() to take an "extras" parameter, which it
passes through to is_refname_available().
* Change ref_transaction_commit() to pass "affected_refnames" to
lock_ref_sha1_basic() as its "extras" argument.
This change fixes a test case in t1404.
This code is a bit stricter than it needs to be. We could conceivably
allow reference "refs/foo/bar" to be created in the same transaction
as "refs/foo" is deleted (or vice versa). But that would be
complicated to implement, because it is not possible to lock
"refs/foo/bar" while "refs/foo" exists as a loose reference, but on
the other hand we don't want to delete some references before adding
others (because that could leave a gap during which required objects
are unreachable). There is also a complication that reflog files'
paths can conflict.
Any less-strict implementation would probably require tricks like the
packing of all references before the start of the real transaction, or
the use of temporary intermediate reference names.
So for now let's accept too-strict checks. Some reference update
transactions will be rejected unnecessarily, but they will be rejected
in their entirety rather than leaving the repository in an
intermediate state, as would happen now.
Please note that there is still one kind of D/F conflict that is *not*
handled correctly. If two processes are running at the same time, and
one tries to create "refs/foo" at the same time that the other tries
to create "refs/foo/bar", then they can race with each other. Both
processes can obtain their respective locks ("refs/foo.lock" and
"refs/foo/bar.lock"), proceed to the "commit" phase of
ref_transaction_commit(), and then the slower process will discover
that it cannot rename its lockfile into place (after possibly having
committed changes to other references). There appears to be no way to
fix this race without changing the locking policy, which in turn would
require a change to *all* Git clients.

Detect duplicates by storing the reference names in a string_list and
sorting that, instead of sorting the ref_updates directly.
* In a moment the string_list will be used for another purpose, too.
* This removes the need for the custom comparison function
ref_update_compare().
* This means that we can carry out the updates in the order that the
user specified them instead of reordering them. This might be handy
someday if, we want to permit multiple updates to a single reference
as long as they are compatible with each other.
Note: we can't use string_list_remove_duplicates() to check for
duplicates, because we need to know the name of the reference that
appeared multiple times, to be used in the error message.

In the first loop (over prefixes of refname), use dirname to keep
track of the current prefix. This is not an improvement in itself, but
in a moment we will start using dirname for a role where a
NUL-terminated string is needed.

Now that we don't need a ref_entry to pass to
report_refname_conflict(), it is sufficient to store the refname of
the conflicting reference.

It wasn't pulling its weight. And we are about to need code similar to
this where no ref_entry is available and with more diverse error
messages. Rather than try to generalize the function, just inline it.

It wasn't pulling its weight. And in a moment we will need similar
tests that take a refname rather than a ref_entry as parameter, which
would have made entry_matches() even less useful.

The function had a "dir" parameter that was shadowed by a local "dir"
variable within a code block. Use the former in place of the latter.
(This is consistent with "dir"'s use elsewhere in the function.)

Add some tests of reference D/F conflicts (by which I mean the fact
that references like "refs/foo" and "refs/foo/bar" are not allowed to
coexist) in the context of reference transactions.
The test of creating two conflicting references in the same
transaction fails, leaving the transaction half-completed. This will
be fixed later in this patch series.
Please note that the error messages emitted in the case of conflicts
are not very user-friendly. In particular, when the conflicts involve
loose references, then the errors are reported as
error: there are still refs under 'refs/foo'
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/foo'.
or
error: unable to resolve reference refs/foo/bar: Not a directory
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/foo/bar'.
This is because lock_ref_sha1_basic() fails while trying to lock the
new reference, before it even gets to the is_refname_available()
check. This situation will also be improved later in this patch
series.
