Patrick Steinhardt b1ac78ecb9 repository: allow initialization with a specific refdb type ...

While we only support initializing repositories with the "files"
reference backend right now, we are in the process of implementing a
second backend with the "reftable" format. And while we already have the
infrastructure to decide which format a repository should use when we
open it, we do not have infrastructure yet to create new repositories
with a different reference format.

Introduce a new field `git_repository_init_options::refdb_type`. If
unset, we'll default to the "files" backend. Otherwise though, if set to
a valid `git_refdb_t`, we will use that new format to initialize the
repostiory.

Note that for now the only thing we do is to write the "refStorage"
extension accordingly. What we explicitly don't yet do is to also handle
the backend-specific logic to initialize the refdb on disk. This will be
implemented in subsequent commits.
