The existing RefDatabase#getRefs abstract method (to be implemented by
ref database backends) has the following issues:
- It returns a map with a key (the name of the ref with the prefix
removed) which is potentially superfluous (it can be derived by the
caller if need be) and confusing (in that the prefix is removed).
- The prefix is required to end with a '/', but some backends (e.g.
reftable) have fast search by prefix regardless of what the last
character of the prefix is.
Add a new method #getRefsByPrefix that does not have these issues. This
is non-abstract with a default implementation that uses #getRefs (for
backwards compatibility), but ref database backends can reimplement it.
This also prepares for supporting "ref-prefix" in the "ls-refs" command
in the fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol v2, which does not require that
the prefix end with a '/'.
