refs/packed-backend.c: refactor `find_reference_location()`

The function `find_reference_location()` is used to perform a
binary search-like function over the contents of a repository's
`$GIT_DIR/packed-refs` file.

The search it implements is unlike a standard binary search in that the
records it searches over are not of a fixed width, so the comparison
must locate the end of a record before comparing it.

Extract the core routine of `find_reference_location()` in order to
implement a function in the following patch which will find the first
location in the `packed-refs` file that *doesn't* match the given
pattern.

The behavior of `find_reference_location()` is unchanged.
