make alloc_ref_from_str() the new alloc_ref()

make alloc_ref_from_str() the new alloc_ref()

With all calls to alloc_ref() gone, we can remove it and then we're free
to give alloc_ref_from_str() the shorter name.  It's a much nicer
interface, as the callers always need to have a name string when they
allocate a ref anyway and don't need to calculate and pass its length+1
any more.
