Michael Haggerty ab292bc4f3 repack_without_ref(): silence errors for dangling packed refs
Stop emitting an error message when deleting a packed reference if we
find another dangling packed reference that is overridden by a loose
reference.  See the previous commit for a longer explanation of the
issue.

We have to be careful to make sure that the invalid packed reference
really *is* overridden by a loose reference; otherwise what we have
found is repository corruption, which we *should* report.

Please note that this approach is vulnerable to a race condition
similar to the race conditions already known to affect packed
references [1]:

* Process 1 tries to peel packed reference X as part of deleting
  another packed reference.  It discovers that X does not refer to a
  valid object (because the object that it referred to has been
  garbage collected).

* Process 2 tries to delete reference X.  It starts by deleting the
  loose reference X.

* Process 1 checks whether there is a loose reference X.  There is not
  (it has just been deleted by process 2), so process 1 reports a
  spurious error "X does not point to a valid object!"

The worst case seems relatively harmless, and the fix is identical to
the fix that will be needed for the other race conditions (namely
holding a lock on the packed-refs file during *all* reference
deletions), so we leave the cleaning up of all of them as a future
project.
