[PATCH v4] push --force-with-lease: Fix ref status reporting

From

From: Andrew Wheeler <awheeler@motorola.com>

The --force--with-lease push option leads to less detailed status information than --force. In particular, the output indicates that a reference was fast-forwarded, even when it was force-updated.

Modify the --force-with-lease ref status logic to leverage the --force ref status logic when the "lease" conditions are met.

Also, enhance tests to validate output status reporting.
