git-fsck, of all tools, has very few tests. This adds some more:
* a corrupted object;
* a branch pointing to a non-commit;
* a tag pointing to a nonexistent object;
* and a tag pointing to an object of a type other than what the tag
itself claims.
Only the first two are caught. At least the third probably should,
too, but currently slips through.

"git fsck" used to validate only loose objects that are local and nothing
else by default. This is not just too little when a repository is
borrowing objects from other object stores, but also caused the
connectivity check to mistakenly declare loose objects borrowed from them
to be missing.
The rationale behind the default mode that validates only loose objects is
because these objects are still young and more unlikely to have been
pushed to other repositories yet. That holds for loose objects borrowed
from alternate object stores as well.

By default we looked at all refs but not HEAD. The only thing that made
fsck not lose sight of commits that are only reachable from a detached
HEAD was the reflog for the HEAD.
This fixes it, with a new test.
