Speed up notedb verification for Gerrit replicas
The Gerrit replica deployments validated on startup, that the notedb
was initialized. This was necessary, since Gerrit wouldn't start up
otherwise. This was done using `git show-ref`, which is far too slow
for repositories with a lot of refs.
Using `git rev-parse --verify` speeds up the process considerably.
