[PATCH 4/4] reset: deprecate '--refresh', leaving only '--no-refresh'

In-Reply-To
<pull.1184.git.1647894889.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

The explicit '--refresh' option was needed in the past when '--quiet', 'reset.quiet', and/or 'reset.refresh' disabled the index refresh in 'reset --mixed'. Those options have since either been deprecated or made to always refresh the index by default, leaving only '--[no-]refresh' determining whether the index is refreshed or not.

Because there is nothing other than '--no-refresh' to disable index refresh, we do not need a '--refresh' option to counteract some other refresh disabling.

To ensure users don't use what is effectively a no-op, remove '--refresh' from the set of 'reset' options, as well as its usage in 'git stash'.
