pack-refs: teach --exclude option to exclude refs from being packed

At GitLab, we have a system that creates ephemeral internal refs that
don't live long before getting deleted. Having an option to exclude
certain refs from a packed-refs file allows these internal references to
be deleted much more efficiently.

Add an --exclude option to the pack-refs builtin, and use the ref
exclusions API to exclude certain refs from being packed into the final
packed-refs file

SYNOPSIS

'git pack-refs' [--all] [--no-prune]

@ -60,6 +60,16 @@ with many branches of historical interests.
The command usually removes loose refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs`
hierarchy after packing them. This option tells it not to.
--exclude <pattern>::
Do not pack refs matching the given `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option
accumulate exclusion patterns. Use `--no-exclude` to clear and reset the list of
patterns. If a ref is already packed, including it with `--exclude` will not
unpack it.
When used with `--all`, pack only loose refs which do not match any of
the provided `--exclude` patterns.
