http-push: trim trailing newline from remote symref

When we fetch a symbolic ref file from the remote, we get
the whole string "ref: refs/heads/master\n", recognize it by
skipping past the "ref: ", and store the rest. We should
chomp the trailing newline.

This bug was introduced in ae021d8 (use skip_prefix to avoid
magic numbers, 2014-06-18), which did not notice that the
length computation fed to xmemdupz was quietly tweaked by 1
to account for this.

We can solve it by explicitly trimming the newline, which is
more obvious. Note that we use strbuf_rtrim here, which will
actually cut off any trailing whitespace, not just a single
newline. This is a good thing, though, as it makes our
parsing more liberal (and spaces are not valid in refnames
anyway).
