The open-coded logic in refname_is_safe() predates the addition of is_pseudoref_syntax(). But now that we have it, we can make use of it. This shortens the code, but also makes sure we use a consistent definition of a pseudoref. Note that refname_is_safe() allows HEAD, which of course is not itself a pseudoref by the strict definition (since it can be a symref). But the syntax for the two is the same, and that is all that we care about here.
