refs/packed: fix BUG when seeking refs with UTF-8 characters

It was reported that using git-pull(1) in a repository whose remote
contains branches with emojis leads to the following bug:

BUG: refs/packed-backend.c:984: packed-refs backend yielded reference
preceding its prefix
error: fetch died of signal 6

This issue bisects to 22600c04529 (refs/iterator: implement seeking for
packed-ref iterators, 2025-03-12) where we have implemented seeking for
the packed-ref iterator. As part of that change we introduced a check
that verifies that the iterator only returns refnames bigger than the
prefix. In theory, this check should always hold: when a prefix is set
we know that we would've seeked that prefix first, so we should never
see a reference sorting before that prefix.

But in practice the check itself is misbehaving when handling unicode
characters. The particular issue triggered with a branch that got the
"shaved ice" unicode character in its name, which is composed of the
bytes "0xEE 0x90 0xBF". The bug triggers when we compare the refname
"refs/heads/<shaved-ice>" to something like "refs/heads/z", and it
specifically hits when comparing the first byte, "0xEE".

The root cause is that the most-significant bit of 0xEE is set. The
`refname` and `prefix` pointers that we use to compare bytes with one
another are both pointers to signed characters. As such, when we
dereference the 0xEE byte the result is a _negative_ value, and this
value will of course compare smaller than "z".

We can see that this issue is avoided in `cmp_packed_refname()`, where
we explicitly cast each byte to its unsigned form. Fix the bug by doing
the same in `packed_ref_iterator_advance()`.
