bisect: fix misuse of refs_for_each_ref_in()

All callers of `refs_for_each_ref_in()` pass in a string that is
terminated with a trailing slash to indicate that they only want to see
refs in that specific ref hierarchy. This is in fact a requirement if
one wants to use this function, as the function trims the prefix from
each yielded ref. So if there was a reference that was called
"refs/bisect" as in our example, the result after trimming would be the
empty string, and that's something we disallow.

Fix this by adding the trailing slash.

Furthermore, taking a closer look, we strip the prefix only to re-add it
in `mark_for_removal()`. This is somewhat roundabout, as we can instead
call `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` to not do any stripping at all. Do so
to simplify the code a bit.
