Disable threads::refdb::edit_while_iterate test It seems that with the various recent changes to reference updating and reflog writing, that the thread safety of refdb updates has been reduced (either that or it was never thread safe and the window for error has increased). Either way, this test is now sometimes segfaulting which is no good, so let's disable the test for now. We don't really make any public promises about thread safety for this type of operation, so I think this is acceptable, at least in the short term.
