refs: strip out not allowed flags from ref_transaction_update

Callers are only allowed to pass certain flags into
ref_transaction_update, other flags are internal to it.  To prevent
mistakes from the callers, strip the internal only flags out before
continuing.

This was noticed because of a compiler warning gcc 7.1.1 issued about
passing a NULL parameter as second parameter to memcpy (through
hashcpy):

In file included from refs.c:5:0:
refs.c: In function ‘ref_transaction_verify’:
cache.h:948:2: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
  memcpy(sha_dst, sha_src, GIT_SHA1_RAWSZ);
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from git-compat-util.h:165:0,
                 from cache.h:4,
                 from refs.c:5:
/usr/include/string.h:43:14: note: in a call to function ‘memcpy’ declared here
 extern void *memcpy (void *__restrict __dest, const void *__restrict __src,
              ^~~~~~

The call to hascpy in ref_transaction_add_update is protected by the
passed in flags, but as we only add flags there, gcc notices
REF_HAVE_NEW or REF_HAVE_OLD flags could be passed in from the outside,
which would potentially result in passing in NULL as second parameter to
memcpy.

Fix both the compiler warning, and make the interface safer for its
users by stripping the internal flags out.
