update-ref: -d flag and ref creation safety.
This adds -d flag to update-ref to allow safe deletion of ref. Before deleting it, the command checks if the given <oldvalue> still matches the value the caller thought the ref contained. Similarly, it also accepts 0{40} or an empty string as <oldvalue> to allow safe creation of a new ref. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
