reflog test: test interaction with detached HEAD

A proposed patch produced broken HEAD reflog entries when checking out
anything other than a branch.  The testsuite still passed, so it took
a few days for the bug to be noticed.

Add tests checking the content of the reflog after detaching and
reattaching HEAD so we don't have to rely on manual testing to catch
such problems in the future.

[jn: using 'log -g --format=%H' instead of parsing --oneline output,
 resetting state in each test so they can be safely reordered or
 skipped]
