refs: new public ref function: safe_create_reflog

The safe_create_reflog function creates a reflog, if it does not
already exist.

The log_ref_setup function becomes private and gains a force_create
parameter to force the creation of a reflog even if log_all_ref_updates
is false or the refname is not one of the special refnames.

The new parameter also reduces the need to store, modify, and restore
the log_all_ref_updates global before reflog creation.

In a moment, we will use this to add reflog creation commands to
git-reflog.
