[PATCH v4 6/7] push: test that <src> doesn't DWYM if <dst> is unqualified

Add a test asserting that "git push origin <src>:<dst>" where <src> is a branch, tag, tree or blob in refs/remotes/* doesn't DWYM when <dst> is unqualified. This has never been the case, but there haven't been any tests for this behavior.

See f88395ac23 ("Renaming push.", 2005-08-03), bb9fca80ce ("git-push: Update description of refspecs and add examples", 2007-06-09) and f8aae12034 ("push: allow unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM", 2008-04-23) which are most relevant commits that have changed or documented the behavior of the DWYM feature in the past.

These tests were originally meant to lead up to a patch that made refs/remotes/* on the LHS imply refs/heads/* on the RHS, see [1]. That patch proved controversial and may not ever land in git.git, but we should have the tests that remind us what the current behavior is in case it's ever changed.
