The old code locked all of the references in the first loop, leaving
all of the lockfiles open until later loops. Since we might be
updating a lot of references, this could cause file descriptor
exhaustion.
But there is no reason to keep the lockfiles open after the first
loop:
* For references being deleted or verified, we don't have to write
anything into the lockfile, so we can close it immediately.
* For references being updated, we can write the new SHA-1 into the
lockfile immediately and close the lockfile without renaming it into
place. In the second loop, the already-written contents can be
renamed into place using commit_ref_update().
To simplify the bookkeeping across loops, add a new REF_NEEDS_COMMIT
bit to update->flags, which keeps track of whether the corresponding
lockfile needs to be committed, as opposed to just unlocked.
This change fixes two tests in t1400.
