git pull --rebase on a corrupted HEAD used to segfault; it has been
corrected to error out with a message. A test has also been added to
verify this fix.

Notes:
When add_head_to_pending fails to add a pending object, git pull
--rebase segfaults. This can happen if HEAD is referring to a corrupt
or missing object.
I discovered this segfault on my machine after pulling a repo from
GitHub, but I have been unable to reproduce the sequence of events
that lead to the corrupted HEAD (I think it may have been caused by a
lost network connection in my case).
The following commands use add_head_to_pending:
format-patch setup_revisions before add_head_to_pending
diff checks rev.pending.nr
shortlog checks rev.pending.nr
log uses resolve_ref_unsafe
All of the above return an error code of 128 and print "fatal: bad
object HEAD" instead of segfaulting, which I think is correct
behavior. The check and error message have been added to
has_uncommitted_changes, where they were missing, as well as to
diff-lib.c (without the error message).
