a8n: Consistent naming for "ref" and "ref name"

Administrator requested to merge a8n/ref-naming into master

Created by: mrnugget

This implements what I promised in this comment https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/6903#issuecomment-559463178

  1. It introduces consistent naming (across the Automation codebase) for "ref" and "ref name": a "ref" is a full ref, i.e. refs/heads/master. A "ref name" is the abbreviated ref, i.e. master.
  2. It introduces two helper functions in the git package to help with converting from one to the other (as described in @tsenart's comment here https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/6903/files/3179658366ed5894f4829c52a2b6bf10f83cb805#r351750520)

(I also changed test names, which required the moving of test fixtures, which in turn makes the diff look noisy. Feel free to ignore those, since they haven't changed or been updated.)
