[PATCH v2 1/2] push: add "--[no-]force-if-includes"

[Srinidhi Kaushik <shrinidhi.kaushik@gmail.com>]

Add a new option: `--force-if-includes` to `git-push` where forced
updates are allowed only if the tip of the remote-tracking ref has
been integrated locally, by verifying if the tip of the remote-tracking
ref on which a local branch has based on (for a rewrite), is reachable
from at least one of the `reflog` entries of the local branch about
to be updated by force on the remote.

This option can also be used with `--force-with-lease` in setups
where the remote-tracking refs of the repository are implicitly
updated in the background.

If a local branch is based on a remote ref for a rewrite, and if that
remote-tracking ref is updated by a push from another repository after
it has been checked out locally, force updating that branch to remote
with `--force-with-lease[=<refname>[:expect]]` without specifying the
"<refname>" or "<expect>" values, can cause the update that happened
in-between the checkout and forced push to be lost.

Specifying `--force-with-includes` with `--force-with-lease` as an
ancillary argument at the time of push, ensures that any new updates
to the remote-tracking refs are integrated locally before allowing a
forced update. This behavior can enabled by default if the configuration
option `push.forceIfIncludesWithLease` is set to `true`.
