[PATCH 06/15] remote: use strmap for check_push_refs()

From

 - count_refspec_match() for 'pattern' iterates every local ref,
   adding a match for each 'refname_match(pattern, refname)',
   which searches against the six ref_rev_parse_rules.

 - count_refspec_match_in_map() for 'pattern' generates the six
   possible matches with expand_ref_prefix(), and then issues
   one strmap lookup for each one.

  Test                           HEAD~1            HEAD
