completion: support pseudoref existence checks for reftables

In contrib/completion/git-completion.bash, there are a bunch of
instances where we read pseudorefs, such as HEAD, MERGE_HEAD,
REVERT_HEAD, and others via the filesystem. However, the upcoming
reftable refs backend won't use '.git/HEAD' at all but instead will
write an invalid refname as placeholder for backwards compatibility,
which will break the git-completion script.

Update the '__git_pseudoref_exists' function to:

1. Recognize the placeholder '.git/HEAD' written by the reftable
   backend (its content is specified in the reftable specs).
2. If reftable is in use, use 'git rev-parse' to determine whether the
    given ref exists.
3. Otherwise, continue to use 'test -f' to check for the ref's filename.
