[PATCH v3 07/16] pull: display default warning only when non-ff

There's no need to display the annoying warning on every pull... only the ones that are not fast-forward.

This requires the tests to pick another base, so the merge is not fast-forward. And in the cases where --ff-only is specified add test_must_fail (since now they are non-fast-forward).

 Then "`git pull`" will fetch and replay the changes from the remote
 `master` branch since it diverged from the local `master` (i.e., `E`)
