"git-fsck(1)" implicitly checks the ref content by passing the
callback "fsck_handle_ref" to the "refs.c::refs_for_each_rawref".
Then, it will check whether the ref content (eventually "oid")
is valid. If not, it will report the following error to the user.
error: refs/heads/main: invalid sha1 pointer 0000...
And it will also report above errors when there are dangling symrefs
in the repository wrongly. This does not align with the behavior of
the "git symbolic-ref" command which allows users to create dangling
symrefs.
As we have already introduced the "git refs verify" command, we'd better
check the ref content explicitly in the "git refs verify" command thus
later we could remove these checks in "git-fsck(1)" and launch a
subprocess to call "git refs verify" in "git-fsck(1)" to make the
"git-fsck(1)" more clean.
Following what "git-fsck(1)" does, add a similar check to "git refs
verify". Then add a new fsck error message "badRefContent(ERROR)" to
represent that a ref has an invalid content.
