This reduces the amount of glue code, because we don't need a void
pointer or vtable within the structure.
The only snag is that reftable_index_record contain a strbuf, so it
cannot be zero-initialized. To address this, use reftable_new_record()
to return fresh instance, given a record type. Since
reftable_new_record() doesn't cause heap allocation anymore, it should
be balanced with reftable_record_release() rather than
reftable_record_destroy().
Thanks to Peff for the suggestion.
