refs: split log_ref_write logic into log_ref_setup

Separation of the logic for testing and preparing the reflogs from
function log_ref_write to a new non static new function: log_ref_setup.

This allows to be performed from outside the first all reasonable checks
and procedures for writing reflogs.
