git-push: Update documentation to describe the no-refspec behavior.

Browse Source 
It turns out that the git-push documentation didn't describe what it
would do when not given a refspec, (not on the command line, nor in a
remotes file). This is fairly important for the user who is trying to
understand operations such as:

	git clone git://something/some/where
	# hack, hack, hack
	git push origin

I tracked the mystery behavior down to git-send-pack and lifted the
relevant portion of its documentation up to git-push, (namely that all
refs existing both locally and remotely are updated).

Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither
on the command line nor in any Push line of the
corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the
refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote
side are updated.
