[PATCH v2 17/21] ref_store: implement `refs_peel_ref()` generically

In-Reply-To
<cover.1505799700.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

We're about to stop storing packed refs in a `ref_cache`. That means that the only way we have left to optimize `peel_ref()` is by checking whether the reference being peeled is the one currently being iterated over (in `current_ref_iter`), and if so, using `ref_iterator_peel()`. But this can be done generically; it doesn't have to be implemented per-backend.

So implement `refs_peel_ref()` in `refs.c` and remove the `peel_ref()` method from the refs API.

This removes the last callers of a couple of functions, so delete them. More cleanup to come...
