Reference transactions use `refs_verify_refname_available()` to check for colliding references. This check consists of two parts: - Checks for whether multiple ref updates in the same transaction conflict with each other. - Checks for whether existing refs conflict with any refs part of the transaction. While we generally cannot avoid the first check, the second check is superfluous in cases where the transaction is an initial one in an otherwise empty ref store. The check results in multiple ref reads as well as the creation of a ref iterator for every ref we're checking, which adds up quite fast when performing the check for many refs. Introduce a new flag that allows us to skip this check and wire it up so that the backends pass it when running an initial transaction. This leads to significant speedups when migrating ref storage backends.
