This code has been unused since fa099d2322 (worktree.c: kill parse_ref()
in favor of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), 2017-04-24), so drop it.

Just something I noticed while reviewing a patch[1] on the mailing list.

Looks obviously correct, unless we are depending on some side effect of
get_git_common_dir(). And if we are, then that should be fixed. ;)

Heh, get_git_common_dir() could be implemented to have some "setup"
kind of side effect for the first call to it, but what is removed is
the second call ;-)  Besides, the body of get_git_common_dir() is a
mere three lines that does not have any side effect, so...
