fsck: return non-zero status on missing ref tips
Fsck tries hard to detect missing objects, and will complain
(and exit non-zero) about any inter-object links that are
missing. However, it will not exit non-zero for any missing
ref tips, meaning that a severely broken repository may
still pass "git fsck && echo ok".
The problem is that we use for_each_ref to iterate over the
ref tips, which hides broken tips. It does at least print an
error from the refs.c code, but fsck does not ever see the
ref and cannot note the problem in its exit code. We can solve
this by using for_each_rawref and noting the error ourselves.
In addition to adding tests for this case, we add tests for
all types of missing-object links (all of which worked, but
which we were not testing).
