git: remote, Do not iterate all references on update.

The current code iterates all the references in the remote to check if
they match the refspec. This is OK when the refspec is a wildcard but
is a waste of time when they are not.

A hash with references is generated for fast access before starting the
update and used only when the refspec is not a wildcard.

In a repository with 7800 references this meant 7800 * 7800 checks. With
the current code it took 8m30s to update the references. With the new
code it takes less than 0.5s.

References are already extensively tested in remote_test.go.
