[PATCH 13/24] refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags field

From: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 12:59:36 -0700

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour.

While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.

Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.
