[PATCH] reachable.c: add HEAD to reachability starting commits

HEAD is not explicitly used as a starting commit for calculating reachability, so if it's detached and reflogs are disabled it may be pruned.

Add test which demonstrates it.

Hi.

This is a followup of http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/255996 I digged it a bit more and look what I found!

Actually, I think would be nice if someone familiar with the code greps for
for_each_ref() usage and for each case verify if head should be added.
