We noticed that once a ref folder is created, there is no existing
command that can remove it. For example, once "foo/bar" is created,
even if the user deletes foo or all the refs under foo, the folder
will persist.
Now when the user attempts to create a ref "foo" either through commit
or refs --create, if a folder "foo" exists but is empty of refs, the
folder is removed and the new ref "foo" is created.
New unit tests in tests-ref.sh verify this functionality.

Added the ability to create a ref (much like a git tag) for an
existing commit through "ostree refs EXISTING --create=NEWREF".
Previously the only way to create a new ref was by creating a new commit,
but refs --create allows multiple refs to point to the same commit.
The command will fail if:
- None/more than one existing ref is specified
- The specified EXISTING tag does not exist, or was not specified
- The specified NEWREF already exists, or is the name of a folder
Add unit tests in tests-ref.sh to verify above functionality

OSTree's code for testing predates the `glib-tap.mk` making its
way into GLib. Let's switch to it, as it provides a number
of advantages.
By far the biggest advantage is that `make check` can start to run
most of the tests *in addition* to having them work installed.
This commit keeps the installed tests working, but `make check` turns
out to be really broken because...our TAP usage has bitrotted to say
the least. Fix that all up.
Do some hacks so that the tests work uninstalled as well - in
particular, `glib-tap.mk` and the bits encoded into
`g_test_build_filename()` assume *recursive* Automake (blah). Work
around that by creating a symlink when installed to loop back.
