Jeff King 6d751be4b6 refs: omit dangling symrefs when using GIT_REF_PARANOIA
Dangling symrefs aren't actually a corruption problem. It's perfectly
fine for refs/remotes/origin/HEAD to point to an unborn branch. And in
particular, if you are trying to establish reachability, a symref that
points nowhere doesn't matter either way. Any ref it could point to will
be examined during the rest of the traversal.

It's possible that a symref pointing nowhere _could_ be a sign that the
ref it was meant to point to was deleted accidentally (e.g., via
corruption). But there is no particular reason to think that is true for
any given case, and in the meantime, GIT_REF_PARANOIA kicking in
automatically for some operations means they'll fail unnecessarily.

So let's loosen it just a bit. The new test in t5312 shows off an
example that is safe, but currently fails (and no longer does after this
patch).

Note that we don't do anything if the caller explicitly asked for
DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN. In that case they may be looking for
dangling symrefs themselves, and setting GIT_REF_PARANOIA should not
_loosen_ things from what the caller asked for.

test_description='
Test pruning of repositories with minor corruptions. The goal
here is that we should always be erring on the side of safety. So
if we see, for example, a ref with a bogus name, it is OK either to
bail out or to proceed using it as a reachable tip, but it is _not_
OK to proceed as if it did not exist. Otherwise we might silently
delete objects that cannot be recovered.
Note that we do assert command failure in these cases, because that is
what currently happens. If that changes, these tests should be revisited.
