doc: git-push: add explanation of git push origin main

Browse Source 
What happens if you run `git push` without any arguments is actually
extremely complex to explain, as discussed in the previous commit.

But it's very easy to explain what `git push <remote> <branch>` does, so
start the man page by explaining what that does.

The hope is that someone could just stop reading the man page here and
never learn anything else about `git push`, and that would be fine.

repository from your local repository, and sends all necessary data
that isn't already on the remote.
The simplest way to push is `git push <remote> <branch>`.
`git push origin main` will push the local `main` branch to the `main`
branch on the remote named `origin`.
The `<repository>` argument defaults to the upstream for the current branch,
or `origin` if there's no configured upstream.
