bisect: fix misuse of `refs_for_each_ref_in()`
All callers of `refs_for_each_ref_in()` pass in a string that is terminated with a trailing slash to indicate that they only want to see refs in that specific ref hierarchy. This is in fact a requirement if one wants to use this function, as the function trims the prefix from each yielded ref. So if there was a reference that was called "refs/bisect" as in our example, the result after trimming would be the empty string, and that's something we disallow. Fix this by adding the trailing slash. Furthermore, taking a closer look, we strip the prefix only to re-add it in `mark_for_removal()`. This is somewhat roundabout, as we can instead call `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` to not do any stripping at all. Do so to simplify the code a bit.
