reflog_expire(): ignore --updateref for symbolic references

Browse Source 
If we are expiring reflog entries for a symbolic reference, then how
should --updateref be handled if the newest reflog entry is expired?

Option 1: Update the referred-to reference. (This is what the current
code does.) This doesn't make sense, because the referred-to reference
has its own reflog, which hasn't been rewritten.

Option 2: Update the symbolic reference itself (as in, REF_NODEREF).
This would convert the symbolic reference into a non-symbolic
reference (e.g., detaching HEAD), which is surely not what a user
would expect.

Option 3: Error out. This is plausible, but it would make the
following usage impossible:

    git reflog expire ... --updateref --all

Option 4: Ignore --updateref for symbolic references.

We choose to implement option 4.

Note: another problem in this code will be fixed in a moment.

--updateref::
Update the reference to the value of the top reflog entry (i.e.
<ref>@\{0\}) if the previous top entry was pruned.
<ref>@\{0\}) if the previous top entry was pruned. (This
option is ignored for symbolic references.)

If a reflog entry's predecessor is pruned, adjust its "old"
