avoid using mksnpath for refs
Like the previous commit, we'd like to avoid the assumption
that refs fit into PATH_MAX-sized buffers. These callsites
have an extra twist, though: they write the refnames using
mksnpath. This does two things beyond a regular snprintf:
1. It quietly writes "/bad-path/" when truncation occurs.
This saves the caller having to check the error code,
but if you aren't actually feeding the result to a
system call (and we aren't here), it's questionable.
2. It calls cleanup_path(), which removes leading
instances of "./". That's questionable when dealing
with refnames, as we could silently canonicalize a
syntactically bogus refname into a valid one.
Let's convert each case to use a strbuf. This is preferable
to xstrfmt() because we can reuse the same buffer as we
loop.
