builtin/show-ref: treat directory as non-existing in --exists
9080a7f178 (builtin/show-ref: add new mode to check for reference
existence, 2023-10-31) added the option --exists to git-show-ref(1).
When you use this option against a ref that doesn't exist, but it is
a parent directory of an existing ref, you get the following error:
$ git show-ref --exists refs/heads
error: failed to look up reference: Is a directory
when the ref-files backend is in use. To be more clear to user,
hide the error about having found a directory. What matters to the
user is that the named ref does not exist. Instead, print the same
error as when the ref was not found:
error: reference does not exist
