   Hi All,
   I've been active on this part of the code recently, and I think this PR 
makes much sense. If the catalog is in REFS mode then the refresh() on the 
table should also follow this strategy. E.g. table is loaded with REFS only, 
then a refresh shouldn't load all the snapshots.
   
   What could also be misleading that these 2 use-cases work differently now:
   1) table loaded with REFS, there are no changes since load -> refresh won't 
load the rest of the snapshots (because metadata location is the same)
   2) table loaded with REFS, there are some changes since load -> refresh will 
load all snapshots not just refs.
   
   @gabeiglio do you think we can revive this PR? If you have no capacity ATM, 
I can take over, let me know!
   @nastra Do you think you can take a look once revived?
