Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern").  This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.
