refs: don't dereference on rename
When renaming refs, don't dereference either the origin or the destination before renaming. The origin does not need to be dereferenced because it is presently forbidden to rename symbolic refs. Not dereferencing the destination fixes a bug where renaming on top of a broken symref would use the pointed-to ref name for the moved reflog. Add a test for the reflog bug.
