refs: include committer info in ref_update struct

The reference backends obtain the committer information from
`git_committer_info(0)` when adding a reflog. The upcoming patches
introduce support for migrating reflogs between the reference backends.
This requires an interface to creating reflogs, including custom
committer information.

Add a new field `committer_info` to the `ref_update` struct, which is
then used by the reference backends. If there is no `committer_info`
provided, the reference backends default to using
`git_committer_info(0)`. The field itself cannot be set to
`git_committer_info(0)` since the values are dynamic and must be
obtained right when the reflog is being committed.
