[0/3] libify reflog

Message

In [1], there was a discussion around a bug report of stash not recovering
in the middle of the process. It turned out to not be a bug we need to fix.
However, out of that discussion came the idea of libifying reflog. This can
stand alone as a code improvement.

stash.c currently shells out to call reflog to delete reflogs. Libify reflog
delete and call it from both builtin/reflog.c and builtin/stash.c.

This patch has three parts:

 * libify reflog's delete functionality and move some of the helpers into a
   reflog.c library and export them
 * call reflog_delete from builtin/reflog.c
 * call reflog_delete from builtin/stash.c

  reflog: libify delete reflog function and helpers
  reflog: call reflog_delete from reflog.c
  stash: call reflog_delete from reflog.c

I just reviewed this in detail, it's very nice to see this done &
another shell-out in our code API-ified.

There's at least one bad bug here (but easily fixed), and some nits
etc. that I suggested mainly to make the diff easier to look at locally,
but aside from those minor adjustments this looks very good to me.
