[PATCH v2 20/25] read_packed_refs(): do more of the work of reading packed refs

From

<014fce73da7def59605e55e113d05802d4e219ff.1495460199.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1495460199.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Teach `read_packed_refs()` to also
* Allocate and initialize the new `packed_ref_cache`
* Open and close the `packed-refs` file
* Update the `validity` field of the new object

This decreases the coupling between `packed_refs_cache` and `files_ref_store` by a little bit.
