CE Port: Extend `MergeToRefService` to create merge ref from an arbitrary ref

What does this MR do?

• CE: Here
• EE: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/14298

(There is a CE port, but technically all the changes are made in CE, so there are no need to create EE MR, but it's good measurement to check the pipeline passes on EE side)
