refs: manage lifetime of packed refs cache via reference counting
In struct packed_ref_cache, keep a count of the number of users of the data structure. Only free the packed ref cache when the reference count goes to zero rather than when the packed ref cache is cleared. This mechanism will be used to prevent the cache data structure from being freed while it is being iterated over. So far, only the reference in struct ref_cache::packed is counted; other users will be adjusted in separate commits.
