[PATCH 1/3] t6301: new tests of for-each-ref error handling

Add tests that for-each-ref correctly reports broken loose reference files and references that point at missing objects. In fact, two of these tests fail, because (1) NULL_SHA1 is not recognized as an invalid reference value, and (2) for-each-ref doesn't respect REF_ISBROKEN. Fixes to come.

Notes (discussion):
    Note that a reference that points at NULL_SHA1 is reported as "broken"
    rather than "missing". This is because NULL_SHA1 is manifestly bogus,
    whereas we have no systematic basis for rejecting any other
    40-character hexadecimal string without doing an object lookup.
