completion: perform DWIM logic directly in __git_complete_refs
__git_complete_refs is the main function used for completing references. It is primarily used as a wrapper around __git_refs, and is easier to extend since its arguments are option-like. One major downside of __git_complete_refs and __git_refs currently, is the lack of ability to complete only a subset of refs such as branches (refs/heads) or tags (refs/tags). Normally, a caller might just decide to use __git_heads() or __git_tags(). However, in the case of git-switch, it is useful to complete both branches *and* DWIM remote branch names. Due to the complexity and implementation of __git_refs, it is not easy to extend it to support listing only a subset of references. Instead, we can extend __git_complete_refs to do this. For this to be done, we must first ensure that "--dwim" support is not tied to calling __git_refs. Instead of passing $dwim into __git_refs, we can implement a __gitcomp_direct_append function which can append to COMPREPLY after a call to __gitcomp_direct. If --dwim is passed to __git_complete_refs, use __gitcomp_direct_append to add the output of __git_dwim_remote_heads to the completion list. In this way, --dwim support is now independent of calling __git_refs. A future change will add an additional option to control what set of references __git_complete_refs will output.
