Introduce a new function `ref_transaction_update_reflog`, for clients to
add a reflog update to a transaction. While the existing function
`ref_transaction_update` also allows clients to add a reflog entry, this
function does a few things more, It:
  - Enforces that only a reflog entry is added and does not update the
  ref itself.
  - Allows the users to also provide the committer information. This
  means clients can add reflog entries with custom committer
  information.

A follow up commit will utilize this function to add reflog support to
`git refs migrate`.

If we could switch the above lines like this:

      flags |= REF_LOG_ONLY | REF_NO_DEREF;

      if (!transaction_refname_valid(refname, new_oid, flags, 1, err))
               return -1;

maybe we wouldn't need transaction_refname_valid() to take an
'unsigned int reflog' argument and we could instead use 'flags &
REF_LOG_ONLY' inside that function?

Nit: it would be great to explain what the index does in the doc, as it
is completely non-obvious.

The issue is the that this changes existing behavior, since
`ref_transaction_update()` can also be called with the `REF_LOG_ONLY`
flag set.

But, I think it is a worthwhile change, because earlier even for reflog
updates we would show 'refusing to update ref ...' as the message. I'll
add this in and also make a note in the commit message.

Thanks
