[PATCH v4 4/4] refs/files-backend: add `refname`, not "HEAD", to list

An earlier patch rewrote `split_symref_update()` to add a copy of a string to a string list instead of adding the original string. That was so that the original string could be freed in a later patch, but it is also conceptually cleaner, since now all calls to `string_list_insert()` and `string_list_append()` add `update->refname`. --- Except a literal "HEAD" is added in `split_head_update()`.

Restructure `split_head_update()` in the same way as the earlier patch did for `split_symref_update()`. This does not correct any practical problem, but makes things conceptually cleaner. The downside is a call to `string_list_has_string()`, which should be relatively cheap.
