ref-filter: add multiple-option parsing functions

The functions

	match_placeholder_arg_value()
	match_placeholder_bool_arg()

were added in pretty 4f732e0fd7 (pretty: allow %(trailers) options
with explicit value, 2019-01-29) to parse multiple options in an
argument to --pretty. For example,

	git log --pretty="%(trailers:key=Signed-Off-By,separator=%x2C )"

will output all the trailers matching the key and seperates them by
a comma followed by a space per commit.

Add similar functions,

	match_atom_arg_value()
	match_atom_bool_arg()

in ref-filter.

There is no atom yet that can use these functions in ref-filter, but we
are going to add a new %(describe) atom in a subsequent commit where we
parse options like tags=<bool-value> or match=<pattern> given to it.
