git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names.

Update check_ref_format() function to reject ref names that:

 * has a path component that begins with a ".", or
 * has a double dots "..", or
 * has ASCII control character, "~", "^", ":" or SP, anywhere, or
 * ends with a "/".

Use it in 'git-checkout -b', 'git-branch', and 'git-tag' to make sure
that newly created refs are well-formed.
