An upcoming commit will add support for providing an URI via the
'extensions.refStorage' config. The URI will contain the reference
backend and a corresponding payload. The payload can be then used for
providing an alternate locations for the reference backend.
To prepare for this, modify the existing backends to accept such an
argument when initializing via the 'init()' function. Both the files
and reftable backends will parse the information to be filesystem paths
to store references. Given that no callers pass any payload yet this is
essentially a no-op change for now.
To enable this, provide a 'refs_compute_filesystem_location()' function
which will parse the current 'gitdir' and the 'payload' to provide the
final reference directory and common reference directory (if working in
a linked worktree).
The documentation and tests will be added alongside the extension of the
config variable.

When creating the reftable reference backend on disk, we create stubs to
ensure that the directory can be recognized as a Git repository. This is
done by calling `refs_create_refdir_stubs()`. Move this to the generic
layer as this is needed for all backends excluding from the files
backends. In an upcoming commit where we introduce alternate reference
backend locations, we'll have to also create stubs in the $GIT_DIR
irrespective of the backend being used. This commit builds the base to
add that logic.
Similarly, move the logic for deletion of stubs to the generic layer.
The files backend recursively calls the remove function of the
'packed-backend', here skip calling the generic function since that
would try to delete stubs.

For Git to recognize a directory as a Git directory, it requires the
directory to contain:
1. 'HEAD' file
2. 'objects/' directory
3. 'refs/' directory
Here, #1 and #3 are part of the reference storage mechanism,
specifically the files backend. Since then, newer backends such as the
reftable backend have moved to using their own path ('reftable/') for
storing references. But to ensure Git still recognizes the directory as
a Git directory, we create stubs.
There are two locations where we create stubs:
- In 'refs/reftable-backend.c' when creating the reftable backend.
- In 'clone.c' before spawning transport helpers.
In a following commit, we'll add another instance. So instead of
repeating the code, let's extract out this code to
`refs_create_refdir_stubs()` and use it.

The `create_reference_database()` function is used to create the
reference database during initialization of a repository. The function
calls `repo_set_ref_storage_format()` to set the repositories reference
format. This is an unexpected side-effect of the function. More so
because the function is only called in two locations:
1. During git-init(1) where the value is propagated from the `struct
repository_format repo_fmt` value.
2. During git-clone(1) where the value is propagated from the
`the_repository` value.
The former is valid, however the flow already calls
`repo_set_ref_storage_format()`, so this effort is simply duplicated.
The latter sets the existing value in `the_repository` back to itself.
While this is okay for now, introduction of more fields in
`repo_set_ref_storage_format()` would cause issues, especially
dynamically allocated strings, where we would free/allocate the same
string back into `the_repostiory`.
To avoid all this confusion, clean up the function to no longer take in
and set the repo's reference storage format.

Replace mixed usage of standard (ASCII) colons ':' with full-width
(wide) colons '：' in Chinese translations to ensure typographic
consistency, as reported by CAESIUS-TIM [1].
Full-width punctuation is preferred in Chinese localization for better
readability and adherence to typesetting conventions.

When a commit is viewed in Gitk that changes a file in po/glossary, the
patch text shows mojibake instead of correctly decoded UTF-8 text.
Gitk retrieves the encoding attribute to decide how to treat the bytes
that make up the patch text. There is an attribute definition that all
files are US-ASCII, and a later attribute definition overrides this.
But the override, which specifies UTF-8, applies only to *.po files in
directory po/ and does not apply to subdirectories.
Widen the pattern to apply to all directory levels.
