files-backend.c is unlearning submodules. Instead of having a specific
check for submodules to see what operation is allowed, files backend
now takes a set of flags at init. Each operation will check if the
required flags is present before performing.

For now we have four flags: read, write and odb access. Main ref store
has all flags, obviously, while submodule stores are read-only and have
access to odb (*).
I'm surprised that you have implemented a "read" flag. Do you expect
ever to support ref-stores that are unreadable? In other words, couldn't
"read" just be assumed for any ref store?

The "main" flag stays because many functions in the backend calls
frontend ones without a ref store, so these functions always target the
main ref store. Ideally the flag should be gone after ref-store-aware
api is in place and used by backends.

(*) Submodule code needs for_each_ref. Try take REF_STORE_ODB flag
out. At least t3404 would fail. The "have access to odb" in submodule is
a bit hacky since we don't know from he whether add_submodule_odb() has
been called.
