[PATCH v4] cvsserver: remove unused escapeRefName function

["Ondřej Pohořelský via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: =?UTF-8?q?Ond=C5=99ej=20Poho=C5=99elsk=C3=BD?= <opohorel@xxxxxxxxxx>

Function 'escapeRefName' introduced in 51a7e6dbc9 has never been used.

Despite being dead code, changes in Perl 5.41.4 exposed precedence
warning withing its logic, which then caused test failures in t9402 by
logging the warnings to stderr while parsing the code. The affected
tests are t9402.30, t9402.31, t9402.32 and t9402.34.

Remove this unused function to simplify the codebase and stop the
warnings and test failures. Its corresponding unescapeRefName function,
which remains in use, has had its comments updated.

     -    cvsserver: avoid precedence problem between ! and %s
     +    cvsserver: remove unused escapeRefName function
      
     -    With perl-5.41.4 and newer, test t9402-git-cvsserver-refs.sh
     -    (specifically t9402.30, t9402.31, t9402.32, t9402.34) fails, because
     -    of the new warnings[0] populating cvs.log.
     +    Function 'escapeRefName' introduced in 51a7e6dbc9 has never been used.
      
     -    Use the 'does not match' operator '!~' directly to express the
     -    negated pattern match, resolving the precedence issue.
     +    Despite being dead code, changes in Perl 5.41.4 exposed precedence
