[PATCH 2/3] Replace literal STRLEN_ #defines in refs.h with compiler evaluated expressions

From
APAndy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>

Bill Lear pointed out that the following:
 #define PATH_REMOTES             "remotes/"
 #define STRLEN_PATH_REMOTES      8
Could be replaced by the less error-prone
 #define PATH_REMOTES "remotes/"
 #define LIT_STRLEN(S) ((sizeof(S) / sizeof(S[0])) -1)
 #define STRLEN_PATH_REMOTES LIT_STRLEN(PATH_REMOTES)
which is what this patch does.
