reset: remove 'reset.refresh' config option
Remove the 'reset.refresh' option, requiring that users explicitly specify '--no-refresh' if they want to skip refreshing the index. The 'reset.refresh' option was introduced in 101cee42dd (reset: introduce --[no-]refresh option to --mixed, 2022-03-11) as a replacement for the refresh-skipping behavior originally controlled by 'reset.quiet'. Although 'reset.refresh=false' functionally served the same purpose as 'reset.quiet=true', it exposed [1] the fact that the existence of a global "skip refresh" option could potentially cause problems for users. Allowing a global config option to avoid refreshing the index forces scripts using 'git reset --mixed' to defensively use '--refresh' if index refresh is expected; if that option is missing, behavior of a script could vary from user-to-user without explanation. Furthermore, globally disabling index refresh in 'reset --mixed' was initially devised as a passive performance improvement; since the introduction of the option, other changes have been made to Git (e.g., the sparse index) with a greater potential performance impact without sacrificing index correctness. Therefore, we can more aggressively err on the side of correctness and limit the cases of skipping index refresh to only when a user specifies the '--no-refresh' option.
