[PATCH] pack-refs: use lockfile as everybody else does.

 I failed to spot a difference from the result/lock-path thing in
 builtin-pack-ref and what lockfile interface does for refs and
 index file.  They seem to do the essentially same thing.  Did I
 miss something?
 Also I am not sure about the "fsync(fd); fclose(refs_file)"
 sequence I did not touch with this patch.  Doesn't stdio still
 have stuff buffered when you run fsync()?  Would adding fflush()
 in between help?
