Don't permit ref/branch names to end with ".lock"

We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name
ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not
appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will
its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all".

In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause
repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a
ref are deleted by "git prune".

It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix.
In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches";
you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output.
