Refactor resolve_ref_1 in terms of a new function read_raw_ref, which
is responsible for reading ref data from the ref storage.

Later, we will make read_raw_ref a pluggable backend function, and make
resolve_ref_unsafe common.

Testing done: Hacked in code to run both old and new version of
resolve_ref_1 and compare all outputs, failing dramatically if outputs
differed.  Ran test suite.

I found some other subtle differences in the behavior after this patch.
I'm still working out the details.
