[RFC PATCH 5/5] stash: change built-in ref to 'stash' instead of 'refs/stash'

'git stash list' now always shows 'refs/stash@{...}' instead of 'stash@{...}', because that's what we specify for the ref.

Since git checks .git/$ref, .git/refs/$ref and only then .git/refs/{branches,tags,remotes}, we can drop the prefix. This only affects people who have .git/stash, who were never able to refer to their stashes by stash@{...}. (Sadly, now they won't be able to use git-stash anymore at all.)
