Re: [PATCH v1 1/2] refs: extract function to normalize partial refs

> `for_each_glob_ref_in` has some code built into it that converts
> partial refs like 'heads/master' to their full qualified form
> 'refs/heads/master'. It also assume a trailing '/*' if no glob
> characters are present in the pattern.
> 
> Extract that logic to its own function which can be reused elsewhere
> where the same behaviour is needed, and add an ENSURE_GLOB flag
> to toggle if a trailing '/*' is to be appended to the result.
