cmd_fetch_pack(): respect constness of argv parameter

The old code cast away the constness of the strings passed to the function in argument argv[], which could result in their being modified by filter_refs(). Fix by copying reference names from argv and putting them into our own array (similarly to how refnames passed to stdin were already handled).
