refs: drop infrastructure to peel via iterators

Now that the peeled object ID gets propagated via the `struct reference`
there is no need anymore to call into the reference iterator itself to
dereference an object. Remove this infrastructure.

Most of the changes are straight-forward deletions of code. There is one
exception though in `refs/packed-backend.c::write_with_updates()`. Here
we stop peeling the iterator and instead just pass the peeled object ID
of that iterator directly.
