Subject: ref-filter.c: filter & format refs in the same callback

Update 'filter_and_format_refs()' to try to perform ref filtering &
formatting in a single ref iteration, without an intermediate 'struct
ref_array'. This can only be done if no operations need to be performed on a
pre-filtered array; specifically, if the refs are

- filtered on reachability,
- sorted, or
- formatted with ahead-behind information

they cannot be filtered & formatted in the same iteration. In that case,
fall back on the current filter-then-sort-then-format flow.

This optimization substantially improves memory usage due to no longer
storing a ref array in memory. In some cases, it also dramatically reduces
runtime (e.g. 'git for-each-ref --no-sort --count=1', which no longer loads
all refs into a 'struct ref_array' to printing only the first ref).
