From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Close the file descriptors to obsolete files before trying to delete or rename them. This is actually required on Windows.

Note: this patch is just a band-aid to get the tests pass on Windows.
The fact that it is needed raises concerns about the overall resource
handling: are file descriptors closed properly whenever appropriate, or
are they closed much later (which can lead to rename() problems on
Windows, and risks running into ulimits)?

Also, a `reftable_stack_destroy()` call had to be moved in `test_reftable_stack_uptodate()` to avoid the prompt complaining that a `.ref` file could not be deleted on Windows. This raises the question whether the code does the right thing when two concurrent processes want to access the reftable, and one wants to compact it. At the moment, it does not appear to fail gracefully.
