[PATCH v2 2/3] Modify pseudo refs through ref backend storage

["Han-Wen Nienhuys via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com>

The previous behavior was introduced in commit 74ec19d4be
("pseudorefs: create and use pseudoref update and delete functions",
Jul 31, 2015), with the justification "alternate ref backends still
need to store pseudorefs in GIT_DIR".

Refs such as REBASE_HEAD are read through the ref backend. This can
only work consistently if they are written through the ref backend as
well. Tooling that works directly on files under .git should be
updated to use git commands to read refs instead.

The following behaviors change:

* Updates to pseudorefs (eg. ORIG_HEAD) with
  core.logAllRefUpdates=always will create reflogs for the pseudoref.

* non-HEAD pseudoref symrefs are also dereferenced on deletion. Update
  t1405 accordingly.
