There are multiple use cases where we'd like to alias refs.
First, having a "stable" alias which gets swapped across major
versions: https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/228
Another case is when a ref is obsoleted;
<https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/303>
This second one could be done with endoflife rebase, but I think
this case is better on the server side, as we might later change
our minds and do actual releases there.
I initially just added some test cases for symlinks in the `refs/heads` dir to
ensure this actually works (and it did), but I think it's worth having APIs.

There are a few places in the code where ad-hoc validation was being
performed. Might as well formalise it a bit more.

So far a lot of submitted PR have added symbols into the first
section. Split the file into `-released` and `-devel` to make
this more obvious.
To further enforce things, we hardcode a checksum of the `-released`
file in `test-symbols.sh`. Only release commits should update that
checksum.
Did you notice I like checksums?
