[PATCH v4 6/7] stash: use stash_push for no verb form

From

Now that we have stash_push, which accepts pathspec arguments, use it instead of stash_save in git stash without any additional verbs.

This does introduce a small regression. Previously we allowed git stash -- -message, with a hyphen in front of the message. However git stash -- message without the hyphen was not allowed. After this change adding a message to the stash, with or without hyphen is no longer allowed.

While this now allows specifying a message with the -m flag, it also disallows messages without a hyphen. This is to prevent user errors, where a user tries to stash something with a message, but changes their mind, and now would like to apply a stash, but forgets to remove the -m flag. E.g. git stash -m mes^H^H^Happly would result in a stash with the message apply, while the user might have intended to apply a previous stash.

If this kind of regression introduced here is not acceptable, I think we could hide this change between some kind of config option, and transition users over later after a warning period.
