git-push.txt: Describe --repo option in more detail

The --repo option was described in a way that the reader would have to
assume that it is the same as the <repository> parameter. But it actually
servers a purpose, which is now written down.

Furthermore, the --mirror option was missing from the synopsis.

+--repo=<repository>::
+	This option is only relevant if no <repository> argument is
