git check-ref-format: add options --allow-onelevel and --refspec-pattern

Also add tests of the new options.  (Actually, one big reason to add
the new options is to make it easy to test check_ref_format(), though
the options should also be useful to other scripts.)

Interpret the result of check_ref_format() based on which types of
refnames are allowed.  However, because check_ref_format() can only
return a single value, one test case is still broken.  Specifically,
the case "git check-ref-format --onelevel '*'" incorrectly succeeds
because check_ref_format() returns CHECK_REF_FORMAT_ONELEVEL for this
refname even though the refname is also CHECK_REF_FORMAT_WILDCARD.
The type of check that leads to this failure is used elsewhere in
"real" code and could lead to bugs; it will be fixed over the next few
commits.

+OPTIONS
+-------
+--allow-onelevel::
+--no-allow-onelevel::
+	Controls whether one-level refnames are accepted (i.e.,
+	refnames that do not contain multiple `/`-separated
+	components).  The default is `--no-allow-onelevel`.
+
+--refspec-pattern::
+	Interpret <refname> as a reference name pattern for a refspec
+	(as used with remote repositories).  If this option is
+	enabled, <refname> is allowed to contain a single `{asterisk}`
+	in place of a one full pathname component (e.g.,
+	`foo/{asterisk}/bar` but not `foo/bar{asterisk}`).
