Carlos Martín Nieto 2b562c3a1e refs: remove the OID/SYMBOLIC filtering
Nobody should ever be using anything other than ALL at this level, so
remove the option altogether.

As part of this, git_reference_foreach_glob is now implemented in the
frontend using an iterator. Backends will later regain the ability of
doing the glob filtering in the backend.
