629cd3a (resolve_ref(): emit warnings for improperly-formatted references,
2011-09-15) made resolve_ref() warn against files that are found in the
directories the ref dwimmery looks at. The intent may be good, but these
messages come from a wrong level of the API hierarchy.
Instead record the breakage in "flags" whose purpose is to explain the
result of the function to the caller, who is in a much better position to
make intelligent decision based on the information.
This updates sha1_name.c::dwim_ref() to warn against such a broken
candidate only when it does not appear directly below $GIT_DIR to restore
the traditional behaviour, as we know many files directly underneath
$GIT_DIR/ are not refs.
Warning against "git show config --" with "$GIT_DIR/config does not look
like a well-formed ref" does not make sense, and we may later tweak the
dwimmery not to even consider them as candidates, but that is a longer
term topic.

Instead of keeping this as an internal API, let the callers find
out the reason why resolve_ref() returned NULL is not because there
was no such file in $GIT_DIR but because a file was corrupt.

This reverts commit 2f6af3820eb61f30cf102b345d35028047300b74; we shouldn't
be changing the traditional behaviour without devising a proper transtion
plan only to hastily fix fallouts on the master branch.

Since some tests before test number 79 ("quoting") are skipped, .git/config
does not exist and 'rm .git/config' fails. Fix this particular case.
While at it, move other instance of 'rm .git/config' that occur in this
file inside the test function to document that the test cases want to
protect themselves from remnants of earlier tests.

This use of strbuf_grow() is a historical artifact that was once used to
ensure that strbuf.buf was allocated and properly nul-terminated. This
was added before the introduction of the slopbuf in b315c5c0, which
guarantees that strbuf.buf always points to a usable nul-terminated string.
So let's remove it.

GCC 4.6 claims that
error: 'best.len' may be used uninitialized in this function
so silence that warning which is treated as an error by also initializing
the "len" members of the struct.
