RefDirectory.scanRef: Re-use file existence check done in snapshot creation
Return immediately in scanRef if the loose ref was identified as
missing when a snapshot was attempted for the ref. This will help
performance of scanRef when the ref is packed but has a corresponding
empty dir in 'refs/'.
For example, consider the case where we create 50k sharded refs in
a new namespace called 'new-refs' using an atomic 'BatchRefUpdate'.
The refs are named like 'refs/new-refs/01/1/1', 'refs/new-refs/01/1/2',
'refs/new-refs/01/1/3' and so on. After the refs are created, the
'new-refs' namespace looks like below:
$ find refs/new-refs -type f | wc -l
0
$ find refs/new-refs -type d | wc -l
5101
At this point, an 'exactRef' call on each of the 50k refs without
this change takes ~2.5s, where as with this change it takes ~1.5s.
