[PATCH 7/7] push: clarify rejection of update to non-commit-ish

Pushes must already (by default) update to a commit-ish due the fast- forward check in set_ref_status_for_push(). But rejecting for not being a fast-forward suggests the situation can be resolved with a merge. Flag these updates (i.e., to a blob or a tree) as not forwardable so the user is presented with more appropriate advice.
