read_loose_refs(): treat NULL_SHA1 loose references as broken
NULL_SHA1 is used to indicate an "invalid object name" throughout our
code (and the code of other git implementations), so it is vastly more
likely that an on-disk reference was set to this value due to a
software bug than that NULL_SHA1 is the legitimate SHA-1 of an actual
object. Therefore, if a loose reference has the value NULL_SHA1,
consider it to be broken.
