Since the `HEAD` reference is trusted (we set it locally), use that
when possible, instead of re-computing it.

We set the `HEAD` and eg. `refs/heads/master` refs when updating
repositories, which allows users to easily clone with git.
For now, `HEAD` is chosen based on a unanimity quorum of delegates.
This can be made more sophisticated in the future.
We've also had to ignore some refs during verification, since these
have cropped in for eg. due to the staging copy clone and the
changes included here.

The previous iteration of the storage layout for projects organised
peer's subtrees by the `refs/remotes` category. This layout leads to
problems when linking a working copy to the storage project. The fetch
refspec would look something like:
fetch = +refs/remotes/abc/heads/*:refs/remotes/rad/*
This works perfectly fine when running:
git fetch rad
but will fail when one tries to specify:
git fetch rad main
Instead, the command would need to be:
git fetch remotes/abc/heads/main
This patch proposes to move the use of `refs/namespaces` for each
peer. The layout looks similar in that each peer has a subtree, but
instead it is under `refs/namespaces/<peer>/refs/...`.
The previous refspec would look more familiar in its new form:
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/rad/*
With this in place running:
git --namespace=abc rad main
Will work as expected and place the reference under
`refs/remotes/rad/main`. Similary, `git --namespace=abc push` will
work as expected.
Another benefit of this approach is that the use of namespacing means
that a tag is pushed it will be placed under the respective namespace
rather than in the global `refs/tags` category.
The actual implementation needed to work around the fact that
`git2`/`libgit2` does not have any options for fetching or pushing
using namespaces. The working copy code uses processes to shell out to
`git` for namespacing needs.
