[PATCH 2/9] refs: update missing old-oid in transaction from lockfile

From: Jiang Xin <zhiyou.jx@alibaba-inc.com>

For commands that update a reference without providing an old-oid, the "reference-transaction" hook will receive a zero-oid instead of the correct old-oid.

In order to provide the "reference-transaction" hook with a real old-oid in any case, get proper old_oid from the lock file and propagate it to the corresponding update entry of a transaction.

The behavior of the following git commands and four testcases have been fixed in t1416:

 * git branch [-f] <ref> <new-oid>              # update branch
 * git cherry-pick <oid>
 * git rebase
 * git tag -d <tag>
 * git update-ref --stdin                       # update refs
 * git update-ref -d <ref>
 * git update-ref <ref> <new-oid> [<old-oid>]   # update ref
