Let fetch_ref pull from Gitaly instead of from disk

Jacob Vosmaer (GitLab) requested to merge gitaly-fetch-ref into master

What does this MR do?

Adds a feature flag to let Gitlab::Git::Repository#fetch_ref pull from Gitaly instead of from disk.

I found a 'creative' use of fetch_ref that would get much less efficient because of this (it was fetching from the repo into itself) so I refactored some code to be able to remove that one call site of fetch_ref.

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

Why was this MR needed?

Gitaly all the things.

Screenshots (if relevant)
