better name for fallback sync refs

Don't expose these as branches in refs/heads/. Instead hide them away in
refs/synced/ where only show-ref will find them.

Make unused only look at branches and tags, not these other things,
so it won't care if some stale sync ref used to use a file.

This means they don't need to be deleted, which could have
led to an incoming sync being missed.
