[PATCH] ls-refs: filter refs based on non-namespace name

Protocol v2 allows for filtering of ref advertisement based on a client-given name prefix, but inclusion/exclusion is determined based on the non-namespace-stripped version (e.g. matching a ref prefix of "refs/heads" against "refs/namespaces/my-namespace/refs/heads/master") instead of the namespace-stripped version, which is the one that the user actually sees.

Determine inclusion/exclusion based on the namespace-stripped version.

This bug was discovered through applying patches [1] that override protocol.version to 2 in repositories when running tests, allowing us to notice differences in behavior across different protocol versions.

Another bug discovered through GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION.

If the patches in [1] above are merged with this patch, a test that previously failed on GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=2 now passes.

I'm not sure of the relevance of the last paragraph and the "[1]" in the
commit message - feel free to remove it. Since the relevant patches are
not merged yet, the e-mails are probably the best reference, and I have
tried to summarize what they do concisely.
