[PATCH 1/8] t0600: don't create ref outside of refs/

We have a test that tries to manipulate the branch refs/heads/referrent, mostly using either the fully qualified refname or git-branch (which implies refs/heads/). However, the call to update-ref uses the unqualified name, meaning we were quietly creating ".git/referrent", which was otherwise unused by the test.

Fix this to specify refs/heads/referrent.

I _think_ it actually doesn't affect the test outcome either way. The point of the test is that expiring reflogs for "the_symref" should not fail when we cannot lock "refs/heads/referrent" that it points to (because we have created a fake .lock file for it). And that is true even if the "referrent" file does not even exist. After all, the process holding the lock could be in the act of creating it.

So I suspect this "update-ref" line could just be dropped entirely. Which you can verify by going back to its origin in 41d796ed5c (refs: on symref reflog expire, lock symref not referrent, 2016-04-07) and removing it. The test fails without the matching code change and passes with it.

But I think it's worth keeping the update-ref call, as it creates a situation which is more likely to match what we'd see in the real world. Even if it does not matter now, it's possible it could in the future.
