refs: fix migration of reflogs respecting "core.logAllRefUpdates"

In 246cebe320 (refs: add support for migrating reflogs, 2024-12-16) we
have added support to git-refs(1) to migrate reflogs between reference
backends. It was reported [1] though that not we don't migrate reflogs
for a subset of references, most importantly "refs/stash".

This issue is caused by us still honoring "core.logAllRefUpdates" when
trying to migrate reflogs: we do queue the updates, but depending on the
value of that config we may decide to just skip writing the reflog entry
altogether. And given that:

  - The default for "core.logAllRefUpdates" is to only create reflogs
    for branches, remotes, note refs and "HEAD"

  - "refs/stash" is neither of these ref types.

We end up skipping the reflog creation for that particular reference.

Fix the bug by setting `REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG`, which instructs the
ref backends to create the reflog entry regardless of the config or any
preexisting state.
