[PATCH] refs.c: move reflog updates into its own function

From: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>

write_ref_sha1 tries to update the reflog while updating the ref. Move these reflog changes out into its own function so that we can do the same thing if we write a sha1 ref differently, for example by writing a ref to the packed refs file instead.

No functional changes intended. We only move some code out into a separate function.

 Examining the refs-transaction-reflog series a bit closer, this seems to be 
 one of the last independant patches, which make sense to rip out on a per-patch 
 basis.
