packed-backend: new module for handling packed references
Now that the interface between `files_ref_store` and
`packed_ref_store` is relatively narrow, move the latter into a new
module, "refs/packed-backend.h" and "refs/packed-backend.c". It still
doesn't quite implement the `ref_store` interface, but it will soon.
This commit moves code around and adjusts its visibility, but doesn't
change anything.
