Make git-update-ref create references with slashes in them. git-branch
and git-checkout already support such reference names.
git-branch can use git-update-ref to create the references in a more
formal manner now.

Earlier we renamed git-foo.sh to git-foo while installing, which
was mostly done by inertia than anything else. This however
made writing tests to use scripts harder.
This patch builds the scripts the same way as we build binaries
from their sources. As a side effect, you can now specify
non-standard paths you have your Perl binary is in when running
the make.

If you run `git branch --help', you will unexpectedly have created a new
branch named "--help". This simple patch adds logic and a usage
statement to catch this and similar problems, and adds a testcase for it.
