transport: also free remote_refs in transport_disconnect()

transport_get_remote_refs() can populate the transport struct's
remote_refs. transport_disconnect() is already responsible for most of
transport's cleanup - therefore we also take care of freeing remote_refs
there.

There are 2 locations where transport_disconnect() is called before
we're done using the returned remote_refs. This patch changes those
callsites to only call transport_disconnect() after the returned refs
are no longer being used - which is necessary to safely be able to
free remote_refs during transport_disconnect().

This commit fixes the following leak which was found while running
t0000, but is expected to also fix the same pattern of leak in all
locations that use transport_get_remote_refs():

Direct leak of 165 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
