[GUILT v3 14/31] Use "git check-ref-format" to validate patch names.

The valid_patchname now lets "git check-ref-format" do its job instead of trying (and failing) to implement the same rules. See git-check-ref-format(1) for a list of the rules.

Refer to the git-check-ref-format(1) man page in the error messages produced when valid_patchname indicates that the name is bad.

Added testcases that breaks most of the rules in that man-page.

Git version 1.8.5 no longer allows the single character "@" as a branch name. Guilt always rejects that name, for increased compatibility.
