notes: allow merging from arbitrary references
Create a new expansion function, expand_loose_notes_ref which will first
check whether the ref can be found using get_sha1. If it can't be found
then it will fallback to using expand_notes_ref. The content of the
strbuf will not be changed if the notes ref can be located using
get_sha1. Otherwise, it may be updated as done by expand_notes_ref.
Since we now support merging from non-notes refs, remove the test case
associated with that behavior. Add a test case for merging from a
non-notes ref.
