ref-filter: implement %(if:equals=<string>) and %(if:notequals=<string>)
Implement %(if:equals=<string>) wherein the if condition is only satisfied if the value obtained between the %(if:...) and %(then) atom is the same as the given '<string>'. Similarly, implement (if:notequals=<string>) wherein the if condition is only satisfied if the value obtained between the %(if:...) and %(then) atom is different from the given '<string>'. This is done by introducing 'if_atom_parser()' which parses the given %(if) atom and then stores the data in used_atom which is later passed on to the used_atom of the %(then) atom, so that it can do the required comparisons. Add tests and documentation for the same.

evaluating the string before %(then), this is useful when we
use the %(HEAD) atom which prints either "*" or " " and we
want to apply the 'if' condition only on the 'HEAD' ref.
