lock_ref_sha1_basic(): on SCLD_VANISHED, retry

If safe_create_leading_directories() fails because a file along the
path unexpectedly vanished, try again (up to 3 times).

This can occur if another process is deleting directories at the same
time as we are trying to make them.  For example, "git pack-refs
--all" tries to delete the loose refs and any empty directories that
are left behind.  If a pack-refs process is running, then it might
delete a directory that we need to put a new loose reference in.

If safe_create_leading_directories() thinks this might have happened,
then take its advice and try again (maximum three attempts).
