cache_ref_iterator_begin(): make function smarter

Change `cache_ref_iterator_begin()` to take two new arguments:

* `prefix` -- to iterate only over references with the specified
  prefix.

* `prime_dir` -- to "prime" (i.e., pre-load) the cache before starting
  the iteration.

The new functionality makes it possible for
`files_ref_iterator_begin()` to be made more ignorant of the internals
of `ref_cache`, and `find_containing_dir()` and `prime_ref_dir()` to
be made private.
