Add git-symbolic-ref

Browse Source 
This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs".  By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.

The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.
