gitk: Parse arbitrary commit-ish in SHA1 field

We only accepted either SHA1s or heads/tags that have been read.  This
meant the user could not, e.g., enter HEAD to go back to the current
commit.

This adds code to call out to git rev-parse --verify if all other
methods of interpreting the string the user entered fail.
(git-rev-parse alone is not enough as we really want a single
revision.)

The error paths change slighly, because we now know from the rev-parse
invocation whether the expression was valid at all.  The previous
"unknown" path is now only triggered if the revision does exist, but
is not in the current view display.
