Bans HEAD branches

I pushed by mistake a branch named recently with `git push origin master:HEAD` (instead of `git push origin HEAD:master`). It should not be allowed (we already ban tags with that name).

Patch attached, should do the trick, though is rather hard to test.

I tested it with:

 ./pre-receive-check-policy 000 123 refs/heads/HEAD
