Move the tracking of refnames in `affected_refnames` from individual backends into the generic layer in 'refs.c'. This centralizes the duplicate refname detection that was previously handled separately by each backend.
Make some changes to accommodate this move:
- Add a `string_list` field `refnames` to `ref_transaction` to contain
all the references in a transaction. This field is updated whenever
a new update is added via `ref_transaction_add_update`, so manual
additions in reference backends are dropped. - Modify the backends to use this field internally as needed. The
backends need to check if an update for refname already exists when
splitting symrefs or adding an update for 'HEAD'. - In the reftable backend, within `reftable_be_transaction_prepare()`,
move the `string_list_has_string()` check above
`ref_transaction_add_update()`. Since `ref_transaction_add_update()`
automatically adds the refname to `transaction->refnames`,
performing the check after will always return true, so we perform
the check before adding the update.This helps reduce duplication of functionality between the backends and makes it easier to make changes in a more centralized manner.
