ls-refs: filter refs using namespace-stripped name
If a user fetches refs/heads/master from a repo with namespace "ns", the
remote is expected to (1) not send the real refs/heads/master, and (2)
send refs/namespaces/ns/refs/heads/master with the name
refs/heads/master. (1) indeed happens now, but not (2) - Git only sends
refs that have the user-given prefix, but it checks them against the
full name of the ref (the one starting with refs/namespaces), and not
the namespace-stripped one.
This is demonstrated by the patch in the test. Currently, it results in
"fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master" despite both
unnamespaced and namespaced master being present. With the code change,
it produces the expected result.
Check the ref prefixes against the namespace-stripped name.
This bug was discovered through applying patches [1] that override
protocol.version to 2 in repositories when running tests, allowing us to
notice differences in behavior across different protocol versions.
