filter_refs(): build refs list as we go

Instead of temporarily storing matched refs to temporary array
"return_refs", simply append them to newlist as we go.  This changes
the order of references in newlist to strictly sorted if "--all" and
"--depth" and named references are all specified, but that usage is
broken anyway (see the last two tests in t5500).

This changes the last test in t5500 from segfaulting into just
emitting a spurious error (this will be fixed in a moment).
