[PATCH v4 06/19] pull: move default warning

Eventually we want to be able to display the warning only when fast-forward merges are not possible.

In order to do so we need to move the default warning up to the point where we can check if we can fast-forward or not.

Additionally, config_get_rebase() was probably never its true home.

This requires a temporary variable to check if we are in the "default mode" (no --rebase or --no-rebase specified). But this is only temporary; another patch in the series gets rid of that.
