[PATCH] git-push: clean up some of the output from git push

* send the "To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward...." message to
  the standard error.  That's where these sort of advice messages typically go
* for git push --porcelain: squelch the above advice.
* for git push --porcelain: send "To dest" lines to the standard output so
  whoever is reading from the process which ref updates went to which remotes.
* for git push --porcelain: only send the "Everything up-to-date" line if
  verbose.
* for git push --porcelain --dry-run: exit with status 0 even if updates will be
  rejected.  Whoever is reading the output of git push--dry-run --porcelain can
  clearly see if updates will be rejected.  However, it will probably need to
  distinguish this condition from other unknown errors that it does not know how
  to handle.
