[PATCH 2/2] sequencer: tighten label lookups

["Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

The `label` command creates a ref refs/rewritten/<label> that the
`reset` and `merge` commands resolve by calling lookup_label(). That
uses lookup_commit_reference_by_name() to look up the label ref. As
lookup_commit_reference_by_name() uses the dwim rules when looking up
the label it will look for a branch named
refs/heads/refs/rewritten/<label> and return that instead of an error if
the branch exists and the label does not. Fix this by using read_ref()
followed by lookup_commit_object() when looking up labels.
