refs: add an update_ref_oid function.
Several places around the codebase want to pass update_ref data from
struct object_id, but update_ref may also be passed NULL pointers.
Instead of checking and dereferencing in every caller, create an
update_ref_oid which wraps update_ref and provides this functionality.
