Move the check for check_refname_format from lock_any_ref_for_update to
lock_ref_sha1_basic.  At some later stage we will get rid of
lock_any_ref_for_update completely.  This has no visible impact to callers
except for the inability to lock badly named refs, which is not possible
today already for other reasons.(*)

Keep lock_any_ref_for_update as a no-op wrapper.  It is the public facing
version of this interface and keeping it as a separate function will make
it easier to experiment with the internal lock_ref_sha1_basic signature.

(*) For example, if lock_ref_sha1_basic checks the refname format and
refuses to lock badly named refs, it will not be possible to delete
such refs because the first step of deletion is to lock the ref.  We
currently already fail in that case because these refs are not recognized
to exist:

 $ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/echo...\*\*
 $ git branch -D .git/refs/heads/echo...\*\*
 error: branch '.git/refs/heads/echo...**' not found.

This has been broken for a while.  Later patches in the series will start
repairing the handling of badly named refs.
