t1410-reflog.sh: avoid suppressing git's exit code in pipelines

Piping git commands directly to wc -l suppresses the exit code of git, hiding potential failures from the test suite. Use test_stdout_line_count instead, which handles exit code preservation internally while keeping the test logic clean and readable.
