refs: introduce `refs_for_each_include_root_refs()`
Introduce a new ref iteration flag `DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_ROOT_REFS`, which will be used to iterate over regular refs plus pseudorefs and HEAD. Refs which fall outside the `refs/` and aren't either pseudorefs or HEAD are more of a grey area. This is because we don't block the users from creating such refs but they are not officially supported. Introduce `refs_for_each_include_root_refs()` which calls `do_for_each_ref()` with this newly introduced flag. In `refs/files-backend.c`, introduce a new function `add_pseudoref_and_head_entries()` to add pseudorefs and HEAD to the `ref_dir`. We then finally call `add_pseudoref_and_head_entries()` whenever the `DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_ROOT_REFS` flag is set. Any new ref backend will also have to implement similar changes on its end.
