From: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add back support to make it possible to delete refs that have a broken
sha1.
Add new internal flags REF_ALLOW_BROKEN and RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_SHA1
to pass intent from branch.c that we are willing to allow
resolve_ref_unsafe and lock_ref_sha1_basic to allow broken refs.
Since these refs can not actually be resolved to a sha1, they instead resolve
to null_sha1 when these flags are used.
For example, the ref:
echo "Broken ref" > .git/refs/heads/foo-broken-1
can now be deleted using git branch -d foo-broken-1

Notes:
Changes to previously sent version:
* do not introduce yet another flag, but stick with REF_DELETING
which was meant for this purpose.
