The current code writes a reflog entry whenever we update a
symbolic ref, but we never test that this is so. Let's add a
test to make sure upcoming refactoring doesn't cause a
regression.

If create_symref() fails, git-symbolic-ref will still exit
with code 0, and our caller has no idea that the command did
nothing.
This appears to have been broken since the beginning of time
(e.g., it is not a regression where create_symref() stopped
calling die() or something similar).

Teach symbolic-ref to delete symrefs by adding the -d/--delete option to
git-symbolic-ref. Both proper and dangling symrefs are deleted by this
option, but other refs - or anything else that is not a symref - is not.
The symref deletion is performed by first verifying that we are given a
proper symref, and then invoking delete_ref() on it with the REF_NODEREF
flag.

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.
Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or
test_might_fail. The examples in this patch do not require that.

Commit afe5d3d5 introduced a safety valve to symbolic-ref to
disallow installing an invalid HEAD. It was accompanied by
b229d18a, which changed validate_headref to require that
HEAD contain a pointer to refs/heads/ instead of just refs/.
Therefore, the safety valve also checked for refs/heads/.
As it turns out, topgit is using refs/top-bases/ in HEAD,
leading us to re-loosen (at least temporarily) the
validate_headref check made in b229d18a. This patch does the
corresponding loosening for the symbolic-ref safety valve,
so that the two are in agreement once more.

When calling "git symbolic-ref" it is easy to forget that
the target must be a fully qualified ref. E.g., you might
accidentally do:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD master
Unfortunately, this is very difficult to recover from,
because the bogus contents of HEAD make git believe we are
no longer in a git repository (as is_git_dir explicitly
checks for "^refs/heads/" in the HEAD target). So
immediately trying to fix the situation doesn't work:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master
fatal: Not a git repository
and one is left editing the .git/HEAD file manually.
Furthermore, one might be tempted to use symbolic-ref to set
up a detached HEAD:
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD `git rev-parse HEAD`
which sets up an even more bogus HEAD:
$ cat .git/HEAD
ref: 1a9ace4f2ad4176148e61b5a85cd63d5604aac6d
This patch introduces a small safety valve to prevent the
specific case of anything not starting with refs/heads/ to
go into HEAD. The scope of the safety valve is intentionally
very limited, to make sure that we are not preventing any
behavior that would otherwise be valid (like pointing a
different symref than HEAD outside of refs/heads/).
