reference_rename: git compliant reference renaming

So far libgit2 didn't handle the following scenarios:

* Rename of reference m   -> m/m
* Rename of reference n/n -> n

Fixed.

Since we don't write reflogs, we have to delete any old reflog for the
renamed reference. Otherwise git.git will possibly fail when it finds
invalid logs.
