refs: refname `is_special_ref()` to `is_pseudo_ref()`Notice: this object is not reachable from any branch.

Rename `is_special_ref()` to `is_pseudo_ref()` to adapt to the newly
defined terminology in our gitglossary(7). Note that in the preceding
commit we have just renamed `is_pseudoref()` to `is_root_ref()`, where
there may be confusion for in-flight patch series that add new calls to
`is_pseudoref()`. In order to intentionally break such patch series we
have thus picked `is_pseudo_ref()` instead of `is_pseudoref()` as the
new name.
