refs: rename `is_special_ref()` to `is_pseudo_ref()`
Rename `is_special_ref()` to `is_pseudo_ref()` to adapt to the newly defined terminology in our gitglossary(7). Note that in the preceding commit we have just renamed `is_pseudoref()` to `is_root_ref()`, where there may be confusion for in-flight patch series that add new calls to `is_pseudoref()`. In order to intentionally break such patch series we have thus picked `is_pseudo_ref()` instead of `is_pseudoref()` as the new name.
