improve ResolveRevision's Ref lookup path

1) lookups on an annotated tag oid now work
2) there was a lot of complexity around detection of ambiguity, but
   unlike git, ambiguous refs are rejected (which causes bugs like
   #823). The new code matches rev-parse's behavior (prefer the OID),
   though there is no warning path to report the same warning.
