show-branch: store resolved head in heap buffer
We resolve HEAD and copy the result to a fixed-size buffer
with memcpy, never checking that it actually fits. This bug
dates back to 8098a178b (Add git-symbolic-ref, 2005-09-30).
Before that we used readlink(), which took a maximum buffer
size.
We can fix this by using resolve_refdup(), which duplicates
the buffer on the heap. That also lets us just check
for a NULL pointer to see if we have resolved HEAD, and
drop the extra head_p variable.
