We noticed that once a ref folder is created, there is no existing
command that can remove it. For example, once "foo/bar" is created,
even if the user deletes foo or all the refs under foo, the folder
will persist.
Now when the user attempts to create a ref "foo" either through commit
or refs --create, if a folder "foo" exists but is empty of refs, the
folder is removed and the new ref "foo" is created.
New unit tests in tests-ref.sh verify this functionality.

We noticed the temp files being left over in ostree when (mistakenly)
trying to create refs with names in use by folders. This fix removes
temp files created by glnx_file_replace_contents_at on failure.

Added the ability to create a ref (much like a git tag) for an
existing commit through "ostree refs EXISTING --create=NEWREF".
Previously the only way to create a new ref was by creating a new commit,
but refs --create allows multiple refs to point to the same commit.
The command will fail if:
- None/more than one existing ref is specified
- The specified EXISTING tag does not exist, or was not specified
- The specified NEWREF already exists, or is the name of a folder
Add unit tests in tests-ref.sh to verify above functionality
