get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs
When we get 40 hex digits, we immediately assume it's an SHA-1. This
is the right thing to do because we have no way else to specify an
object. If there is a ref with the same object name, it will be
ignored. Warn the user about this case because the ref with full
object name is likely a mistake, for example
git checkout -b $empty_var $(git rev-parse something)
advice.object_name_warning is not documented because frankly people
should not be aware about it until they encounter this situation.
While at there, warn about ambiguation with abbreviated SHA-1 too.
