The reftable backend, sorts its updates by refname before applying them, this ensures that the references are stored sorted. When migrating reflogs from one backend to another, the order of the reflogs must be maintained. Add a new `index` field to the `ref_update` struct to facilitate this.

This field is used in the reftable backend's sort comparison function `transaction_update_cmp`, to ensure that indexed fields maintain their order.
