[PATCH 2/5] for-each-ref: refactor refname handling

This code handles some special magic like *-deref and the :short formatting specifier. The next patch will add another field which outputs a ref and wants to use the same code.

This patch splits the "which ref are we outputting" from the actual formatting. There should be no behavioral change.
