show-ref: accept HEAD with --verify
Previously, when --verify was specified, show-ref would use a separate code path which did not handle HEAD and treated it as an invalid ref. Thus, "git show-ref --verify HEAD" (where "--verify" is used because the user is not interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD) did not work as expected. Instead of insisting that the input begins with "refs/", allow "HEAD" as well in the codepath that handles "--verify", so that all valid full refnames including HEAD are passed to the same output machinery.
