update_ref(): don't read old reference value before delete
If we are deleting the reference, then we don't need to read the reference's old value. It doesn't provide any race safety, because the value read just before the delete is no "better" than the value that would be read under lock during the delete. And even if the reference previously didn't exist, we can call delete_ref() on it if we don't provide an old_sha1 value.
