refs/files: skip creation of "refs/{heads,tags}" for worktrees

The files ref backend will create both "refs/heads" and "refs/tags" in
the Git directory. While this logic makes sense for normal repositories,
it does not for worktrees because those refs are "common" refs that
would always be contained in the main repository's ref database.

Introduce a new flag telling the backend that it is expected to create a
per-worktree ref database and skip creation of these dirs in the files
backend when the flag is set. No other backends (currently) need
worktree-specific logic, so this is the only required change to start
creating per-worktree ref databases via `refs_init_db()`.
