[PATCH] pull: do not warn when opt_ff is explicitly specified

In d18c950a69 (pull: warn if the user didn't say whether to rebase or to merge, 2020-03-09), `git pull` was taught to warn users if they have `pull.rebase` unset or `pull.ff != "only"`. However, this warning is a little too eager about happening.

If the warning is silenced by specifying `pull.ff = "only"`, as instructed, the warning will arise again if the user runs something like `git pull --no-ff`. However, the warning should not happen as the user clearly knows what they're doing.

Don't display the warning if opt_ff is explicitly set by a command-line option given by a user.
