Subject: [PATCH] refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecs

Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*"
within a component instead of only as the whole component.

Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from
check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic
in check_refname_component().  Pass the pointer to the flags argument
to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when
it sees "*".

Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*"
only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the
bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec
contains at most one asterisk.

This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`.
Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with
the new logic.
