refs API: remove "failure_errno" from refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()
Remove the now-unused "failure_errno" parameter from the refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() signature. In my recent 96f6623ada0 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29) series we made all of its callers explicitly request the errno via an output parameter. As that series shows all but one caller ended up passing in a boilerplate "ignore_errno", since they only cared about whether the return value was NULL or not, i.e. if the ref could be resolved. There was one small issue with that series fixed with a follow-up in 31e39123695 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2022-01-14) a small bug in that series was fixed. After those two there was one caller left in sequencer.c that used the "failure_errno', but as of the preceding commit it uses a boilerplate "ignore_errno" instead. This leaves the public refs API without any use of "failure_errno" at all. We could still do with a bit of cleanup and generalization between refs.c and refs/files-backend.c before the "reftable" integration lands, but that's all internal to the reference code itself. So let's remove this output parameter. Not only isn't it used now, but it's unlikely that we'll want it again in the future. We'd like to slowly move the refs API to a more file-backend independent way of communicating error codes, having it use a "failure_errno" was only the first step in that direction. If this or any other function needs to communicate what specifically is wrong with the requested "refname" it'll be better to have the function set some output enum of well-defined error states than piggy-backend on "errno".
