resolve_ref(): report breakage to the caller without warning

629cd3a (resolve_ref(): emit warnings for improperly-formatted references,
2011-09-15) made resolve_ref() warn against files that are found in the
directories the ref dwimmery looks at. The intent may be good, but these
messages come from a wrong level of the API hierarchy.

Instead record the breakage in "flags" whose purpose is to explain the
result of the function to the caller, who is in a much better position to
make intelligent decision based on the information.

This updates sha1_name.c::dwim_ref() to warn against such a broken
candidate only when it does not appear directly below $GIT_DIR to restore
the traditional behaviour, as we know many files directly underneath
$GIT_DIR/ are not refs.

Warning against "git show config --" with "$GIT_DIR/config does not look
like a well-formed ref" does not make sense, and we may later tweak the
dwimmery not to even consider them as candidates, but that is a longer
term topic.
