refs/files: support symbolic and root refs in initial transaction

The "files" backend has implemented special logic when committing
the first transactions in an otherwise empty ref store: instead of
writing all refs as separate loose files, it instead knows to write them
all into a "packed-refs" file directly. This is significantly more
efficient than having to write each of the refs as separate "loose" ref.

The only user of this optimization is git-clone(1), which only uses this
mechanism to write regular refs. Consequently, the implementation does
not know how to handle both symbolic and root refs. While fine in the
context of git-clone(1), this keeps us from using the mechanism in more
cases.

Adapt the logic to also support symbolic and root refs by using a second
transaction that we use for all of the refs that need to be written as
loose refs.
