refs.h: implement hidden_refs_to_excludes()

In subsequent commits, we'll teach `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` to
use the new jump list feature in the packed-refs iterator by ignoring
references which are mentioned via its respective hideRefs lists.

However, the packed-ref jump lists cannot handle un-hiding rules (that
begin with '!'), or namespace comparisons (that begin with '^'). Add a
convenience function to the refs.h API to detect when either of these
conditions are met, and returns an appropriate value to pass as excluded
patterns.
