[PATCH v4 2/9] for-each-ref: explicitly test no matches

From: Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

Message-ID: <1e3d499431aee563f6104f5ef1192658ece4ae4b.1679311616.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.1489.v4.git.1679311615.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The for-each-ref builtin can take a list of ref patterns, but if none match, it still succeeds (but with no output). Add an explicit test that demonstrates that behavior.
