Merge branch 'mh/avoid-rewriting-packed-refs'

Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started
rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been
optimized again for most trivial cases.

* mh/avoid-rewriting-packed-refs:
  files-backend: don't rewrite the `packed-refs` file unnecessarily
  t1409: check that `packed-refs` is not rewritten unnecessarily

* We're only going to bother returning false for the common,
* trivial case that references are only being deleted, their
* old values are not being checked, and the old `packed-refs`
* file doesn't contain any of those reference(s). This gives
* false positives for some other cases that could
* theoretically be optimized away:
*
* 1. It could be that the old value is being verified without
* setting a new value. In this case, we could verify the
* old value here and skip the update if it agrees. If it
* disagrees, we could either let the update go through
* (the actual commit would re-detect and report the
* problem), or come up with a way of reporting such an
* error to *our* caller.
*
* 2. It could be that a new value is being set, but that it
* is identical to the current packed value of the
* reference.
*
* Neither of these cases will come up in the current code,
* because the only caller of this function passes to it a
* transaction that only includes `delete` updates with no
* `old_id`. Even if that ever changes, false positives only
* cause an optimization to be missed; they do not affect
* correctness.
