Add --ref-format option to scalar clone (port to vfs-2.52.0) (#832)

Add the `--ref-format` option to the `scalar clone` command. This will allow users to opt-in to creating a Scalar repository using alternative ref storage backends, such as reftable. Example:

```shell
scalar clone --ref-format reftable $URL
```
