ref: check whether the target of the symref is a ref
Ideally, we want to the users use "git symbolic-ref" to create symrefs
instead of writing raw contents into the filesystem. However, "git
symbolic-ref" is strict with the refname but not strict with the
referent. For example, we can make the "referent" located at the
"$(gitdir)/logs/aaa" and manually write the content into this where we
can still successfully parse this symref by using "git rev-parse".
$ git init repo && cd repo && git commit --allow-empty -mx
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/test logs/aaa
$ echo $(git rev-parse HEAD) > .git/logs/aaa
$ git rev-parse test
We may need to add some restrictions for "referent" parameter when using
"git symbolic-ref" to create symrefs because ideally all the
nonpseudo-refs should be located under the "refs" directory and we may
tighten this in the future.
In order to tell the user we may tighten the above situation, create
a new fsck message "symrefTargetIsNotARef" to notify the user that this
may become an error in the future.
