[PATCH 7/7] refs: add support for migrating reflogs

The `git refs migrate` command was introduced in 25a0023f28 (builtin/refs: new command to migrate ref storage formats, 2024-06-06) to support migrating from one reference backend to another.

One limitation of the command was that it didn't support migrating repositories which contained reflogs. A previous commit, added support for adding reflog updates in ref transactions. Using the added functionality bake in reflog support for `git refs migrate`.

To ensure that the order of the reflogs is maintained during the migration, we add the index for each reflog update as we iterate over the reflogs from the old reference backend. This is to ensure that the order is maintained in the new backend.
