BatchRefUpdate: Skip saving conflicting ref names and prefixes in memory

Rather than getting all ref names and prefixes and saving them
in memory to perform the check for conflicting names, rely on
RefDirectory.isNameConflicting as it is no longer an expensive
call after it was optimized in Ie994fc.

The old optimization to save ref names and prefixes in memory
was targeted towards making clones faster. With this change,
the clone performance is unaffected when tests were done with
repos containing many(~500k) refs.

Here are few recorded elapsed times for creating 10 branches
using BatchRefUpdate on NFS based repositories with varying
loose refs count. As seen here, this change helps improve the
BatchRefUpdate performance from O(n^2) to O(1).

160k              209 ms        396328 ms

This update improves the Gerrit notedb migration performance
as it uses BatchRefUpdate to write change meta refs similar to
the test performed above.
