Change create_branch to use a ref transaction when creating the new branch.
ref_transaction_create will check that the ref does not already exist and fail
otherwise meaning that we no longer need to keep a lock on the ref during the
setup_tracking. This simplifies the code since we can now do the transaction
in one single step.
If the forcing flag is false then use ref_transaction_create since this will
fail if the ref already exist. Otherwise use ref_transaction_update.
This also fixes a race condition in the old code where two concurrent
create_branch could race since the lock_any_ref_for_update/write_ref_sha1
did not protect against the ref already existsing. I.e. one thread could end up
overwriting a branch even if the forcing flag is false.
