Add the functionality to use the same name for refs in local and remote
repos. This helps users keep track of local refs of remote origin, much
like local and remote git branches.
Previously, when a local ref is specified, resolve_refspec would fall
back to searching through remote repos if the ref is not found locally.
This function now takes an extra flag to specify whether it should
search through remote repos. Additionally, ostree_repo_resove_rev_ext
was added to call resolve_refspec with fallback_remote being false, so
refs --create would no longer complain when trying to create a local
ref of the same name as a remote one.
Fix remote repo parsing not being handled correctly on refs --create.

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
