Subject: send-pack: tighten checks for remote names

"git push $URL HEAD~6" created a bogus ref HEAD~6 immediately
under $GIT_DIR of the remote repository.  While we should keep
refspecs that have arbitrary extended SHA-1 expression on the
source side working (e.g. "HEAD~6:refs/tags/yesterday"), we
should not create bogus ref on the other end.
