    refs: fix locks getting forcibly removed
    
    The flag GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE currently does two things:
         1. It will cause the filebuf to create non-existing leading
            directories for the file that is about to be written.
         2. It will forcibly remove any pre-existing locks.
    While most call sites actually do want (1), they do not want to
    remove pre-existing locks, as that renders the locking mechanisms
    effectively useless.
    Introduce a new flag `GIT_FILEBUF_CREATE_LEADING_DIRS` to
    separate both behaviours cleanly from each other and convert
    callers to use it instead of `GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE` to have them
    honor locked files correctly.
    
    As this conversion removes all current users of `GIT_FILEBUF_FORCE`,
    this commit removes the flag altogether.
