Keep references purely in erlang

Refernces contain three pieces of data which we already keep in the erlang record. Keep the repository it belongs to in the record as well and remove resource in the NIF. This makes the code easier to reason about, as we don't need to keep any reference counts or GC the C struct. This does mean we cannot re-use references across geef_repo restarts, but that's probably a good thing.
