[PATCH v2 1/3] t6301: new tests of for-each-ref error handling

[Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>]

Add tests that for-each-ref correctly reports broken loose reference
files and references that point at missing objects. In fact, two of
these tests fail, because (1) NULL_SHA1 is not recognized as an
invalid reference value, and (2) for-each-ref doesn't respect
REF_ISBROKEN. Fixes to come.

Note that when for-each-ref is run with a --format option that doesn't
require the object to be looked up, then we should still notice if a
loose reference file is corrupt or contains NULL_SHA1, but we don't
notice if it points at a missing object because we don't do an object
lookup. This is OK.

Notes (discussion):
    Note that a reference that points at NULL_SHA1 is reported as "broken"
    rather than "missing". This is because NULL_SHA1 is manifestly bogus,
    whereas we have no systematic basis for rejecting any other
    40-character hexadecimal string without doing an object lookup.
