Junio C Hamano ac5409e420 update-ref: -d flag and ref creation safety.
This adds -d flag to update-ref to allow safe deletion of ref.
Before deleting it, the command checks if the given <oldvalue>
still matches the value the caller thought the ref contained.

Similarly, it also accepts 0{40} or an empty string as <oldvalue>
to allow safe creation of a new ref.
