[PATCH 5/5] refs debug: add a wrapper for "read_symbolic_ref"

In cd475b3b038 (refs: add ability for backends to special-case reading of symbolic refs, 2022-03-01) when the "read_symbolic_ref" callback was added we'd fall back on "refs_read_raw_ref" if there wasn't any backend implementation of "read_symbolic_ref".

As discussed in the preceding commit this would only happen if we were running the "debug" backend, e.g. in the "setup for ref completion" test in t9902-completion.sh with:

    GIT_TRACE_REFS=1 git fetch --no-tags other

Let's improve the trace output, but and also eliminate the now-redundant refs_read_raw_ref() fallback case. As noted in the preceding commit the "packed" backend will never call refs_read_symbolic_ref() (nor is it ever going to). For any future backend such as reftable it's OK to ask that they either implement this (or a wrapper) themselves.
