[PATCH] resolve_gitlink_ref_recursive(): verify format of symbolic refs

When reading a symbolic ref via resolve_gitlink_ref_recursive(), check
that the reference name that is pointed at is formatted correctly,
using the same check as resolve_ref_unsafe() uses for non-gitlink
references.  This prevents bogosity like

    ref: ../../other/file

from causing problems.

Given that symbolic references cannot be transferred via the Git
protocol, I do not expect this bug to be exploitable.
