Add a test script, `t/t1462-refs-exists.sh`, for the `git refs exists` command.

This script acts as a simple driver, leveraging the shared test library created in the preceding commit. It works by overriding the `$git_show_ref_exists` variable to "git refs exists" and then sourcing the shared library (`t/show-ref-exists-tests.sh`).

This approach ensures that `git refs exists` is tested against the entire comprehensive test suite of `git show-ref --exists`, verifying that it acts as a compatible drop-in replacement.
