[PATCH 3/3] rev-parse: simplify parsing of ref options

All of these options do the same thing "--foo" iterates over the "foo" refs, and "--foo=<glob>" does the same with a glob. We can factor this into its own function to avoid repeating ourselves.

There are two subtleties to note:
  - the original called for_each_branch_ref(), etc, in the
    non-glob case. Now we will call for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/")
    which is exactly what for_each_branch_ref() did under
    the hood.
  - for --glob, we'll call for_each_glob_ref_in() with a
    NULL "prefix" argument. Which is exactly what
    for_each_glob_ref() was doing already.

So both cases should behave identically, and it seems reasonable to assume that this will remain the same. The functions we are calling now are the more-generic ones, and the ones we are dropping are just convenience wrappers.

This actually drops the last caller for for_each_branch_ref(). I'm not
sure if we shoulder consider cleaning up the proliferation of
for_each_ref() helpers.
