ls-refs.c: initialize 'prefixes' before using it

Correctly initialize the "prefixes" strvec using strvec_init() instead
of simply zeroing it via the earlier memset().

There's no way to trigger a crash, since the first 'ref-prefix' command
will initialize the strvec via the 'ALLOC_GROW' in 'strvec_push_nodup()'
(the alloc and nr variables are already zero'd, so the call to
ALLOC_GROW is valid).

If no "ref-prefix" command was given, then the call to
'ls-refs.c:ref_match()' will abort early after it reads the zero in
'prefixes->nr'. Likewise, strvec_clear() will only call free() on the
array, which is NULL, so we're safe there, too.

But, all of this is dangerous and requires more reasoning than it would
if we simply called 'strvec_init()', so do that.
