Teng Long 425b4d7f47 push: introduce '--branches' option ...

The '--all' option of git-push built-in cmd support to push all branches
(refs under refs/heads) to remote. Under the usage, a user can easlily
work in some scenarios, for example, branches synchronization and batch
upload.

The '--all' was introduced for a long time, meanwhile, git supports to
customize the storage location under "refs/". when a new git user see
the usage like, 'git push origin --all', we might feel like we're
pushing _all_ the refs instead of just branches without looking at the
documents until we found the related description of it or '--mirror'.

To ensure compatibility, we cannot rename '--all' to another name
directly, one way is, we can try to add a new option '--heads' which be
identical with the functionality of '--all' to let the user understand
the meaning of representation more clearly. Actually, We've more or less
named options this way already, for example, in 'git-show-ref' and 'git
ls-remote'.

At the same time, we fix a related issue about the wrong help
information of '--all' option in code and add some test cases in
t5523, t5543 and t5583.
