Re: 'simple' push check that branch name matches does not work if push.default is unset (and hence implicitly simple)

Ugh. Yeah, this never worked properly, even in the original v2.0.0
release. Worse, our tests did not notice it at all.  Patch is below.

Subject: push: truly use "simple" as default, not "upstream"

The plan for the push.default transition had all along been
to use the "simple" method rather than "upstream" as a
default if the user did not specify their own push.default
value. Commit 11037ee (push: switch default from "matching"
to "simple", 2013-01-04) tried to implement that by moving
PUSH_DEFAULT_UNSPECIFIED in our switch statement to
fall-through to the PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE case.

When the commit that became 11037ee was originally written,
that would have been enough. We would fall through to
calling setup_push_upstream() with the "simple" parameter
set to 1. However, it was delayed for a while until we were
ready to make the transition in Git 2.0.

And in the meantime, commit ed2b182 (push: change `simple`
to accommodate triangular workflows, 2013-06-19) threw a
monkey wrench into the works. That commit drops the "simple"
parameter to setup_push_upstream, and instead checks whether
the global "push_default" is PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE. This is
right when the user has explicitly configured push.default
to simple, but wrong when we are a fall-through for the
"unspecified" case.

We never noticed because our push.default tests do not cover
the case of the variable being totally unset; they only
check the "simple" behavior itself.

ed2b182 comes from Ram, but the suggestion for this bit of code actually
comes from Junio in:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/228383/focus=228436

I am not sure I understand the reason for dropping the "simple"
parameter in that commit in the first place. If we are in triangular
mode, then we would not get to setup_push_upstream from "simple" (or the
default) in the first place (we would use "current" instead). The only
time "triangular" matters to setup_push_upstream is when push.default
really has been set to "upstream", but in that case, "simple" would
always be 0 (and likewise, the equality check that replaces it would
also be false).

So I have a vague concern that I'm missing something. Maybe one of you
who worked on it can recall more.
