t/pack-refs-tests: use test_path_is_missing

The pack-refs tests previously used raw 'test -f' and 'test -e' checks with negation. Update them to use Git's standard helper function test_path_is_missing for consistency and clearer failure reporting. As suggested in review, replaced the negated 'test_path_exists' with test_path_is_missing to better reflect the expected absence of paths.
