[PATCH 1/2] transport: cleanup duplicated ref fetching code

When fetching refs through the git protocol, the fetch_refs_via_pack will establish the connection and get the ref list if it has not already been done.

Since the code is only two lines, it was done inline rather than calling the transport's get_refs function. However, calling that function better matches the intent, and is future-proof against enhancements in get_refs_via_connect.

Enhancements like the one that is coming in the next patch.

Though I think that fetch_pack doesn't currently care if the HEAD symref is set up, it makes sense to me to be consistent.
