refs: ref entry with NULL sha1 is can be a dangling symref
Brandon Casey noticed that t5505 had accidentally broken its && chain, hiding inconsistency between the code that writes the warning to the standard output and the test that expects to see the warning on the standard error, which was introduced by f8948e2 (remote prune: warn dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08). It turns out that the issue is deeper than that. After f8948e2, a symref that is dangling is marked with a NULL sha1, and the idea of using NULL sha1 to mean a deleted ref was scrapped, but somehow a follow-up eafb452 (do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref, 2009-07-22) incorrectly reorganized do_one_ref(), still thinking NULL sha1 is never used in the code. Fix this by: - adopt Brandon's fix to t5505 test; - introduce REF_BROKEN flag to mark a ref that fails to resolve (dangling symref); - move the check for broken ref back inside the "if we are skipping dangling refs" code block.
