In ac0bad0af4 (t0601: refactor tests to be shareable, 2025-09-19), we
refactored 't/t0601-reffiles-pack-refs.sh' to move all of the tests to
't/pack-refs-tests.sh', which became a common test suite which was also
used by 't/t1463-refs-optimize.sh'.
This also moved the 'test_done' directive to 't/pack-refs-tests.sh'.
Which inhibits additional tests from being added to either of the tests.
Let's move the directive out to both the tests, so that we can add
additional specific tests to them. Also the test flow logic shouldn't be
part of tests which can be embedded in other test scripts.

Both the "files" and "reftable" backend store peeled object IDs for
references that point to tags:
- The "files" backend stores the value when packing refs, where each
peeled object ID is prefixed with "^".
- The "reftable" backend stores the value whenever writing a new
reference that points to a tag via a special ref record type.
Both of these backends use `peel_object()` to find the peeled object ID.
But as explained in the preceding commit, that function does not detect
the case where the tag's tagged object and its claimed type mismatch.
The consequence of storing these bogus peeled object IDs is that we're
less likely to detect such corruption in other parts of Git.
git-for-each-ref(1) for example does not notice anymore that the tag is
broken when using "--format=%(*objectname)" to dereference tags.
One could claim that this is good, because it still allows us to mostly
use the tag as intended. But the biggest problem here is that we now
have different behaviour for such a broken tag depending on whether or
not we have its peeled value in the refdb.
Fix the issue by verifying the object type when peeling the object. If
that verification fails we simply skip storing the peeled value in
either of the reference formats.

In preparation for adding tests for the new `git refs optimize` command,
refactor the existing t0601 test suite to make its logic shareable.
Move the core test logic from `t0601-reffiles-pack-refs.sh` into a new
`pack-refs-tests.sh` file. Inside this new script, replace hardcoded
calls to "pack-refs" with the `$pack_refs` variable.
The original `t0601-reffiles-pack-refs.sh` script now becomes a simple
"driver". It is responsible for setting the default value of the
variable and then sourcing the test library.
This new structure follows the established pattern used for sharing
tests between `git-for-each-ref` and `git-refs list` and prepares the
test suite for the `refs optimize` tests to be added in a subsequent
commit.
