reftable/record: reuse refnames when decoding log records

When decoding a log record we always reallocate their refname arrays.
This results in quite a lot of needless allocation churn.

Refactor the code to grow the array as required only. Like this, we
should usually only end up reallocating the array a small handful of
times when iterating over many refs. Before:
