[PATCH v8 03/11] ref-filter: implement '--points-at' option

[Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>]

In 'tag -l' we have '--points-at' option which lets users
list only tags of a given object. Implement this option in
'ref-filter.{c,h}' so that other commands can benefit from this.

This is duplicated from tag.c, we will eventually remove that
when we port tag.c to use ref-filter APIs.
