[PATCH v5 3/8] detached-stash: simplify stash_drop

From

Previously, git stash drop would fail noisily while executing git reflog delete if the specified revision was not a stash reference.

Now, git stash drop fails with an error message which more precisely indicates the reason for failure.

Furthermore, git stash drop will now fail with a non-zero status code if stash@{n} specifies a stash log entry that does not actually exist.

This change in behaviour is achieved by delegating argument parsing to the common parse_flags_and_rev() function (via a call to assert_stash_ref).
