The greater goal of this patch series is to develop the concept of a reference store, which is a place that references, their values, and their reflogs are stored, and to virtualize the reference interface so that different types of ref_stores can be implemented. We will then, for example, use ref_store instances to access submodule references and worktree references. Currently, we keep a ref_cache for each submodule that has had its references iterated over. It is a far cry from a ref_store, but they are stored the way we will want to store ref_stores, and ref_stores will eventually have to hold the reference caches. So let's treat ref_caches as embryo ref_stores, and build them out from there. As the first step, simply rename `ref_cache` to `files_ref_store`, and rename some functions and attributes correspondingly.
