We're asserting that a prefetch of remotes via git-maintenance(1)
doesn't write any references in refs/remotes by validating that the
directory ".git/refs/remotes" is missing. This is quite roundabout: we
don't care about the directory existing, we care about the references
not existing, and the way these are stored is on the behest of the
reference database.

Convert the test to instead check via git-for-each-ref(1) whether any
remote reference exist.
