ui: path option to declare which revisions to push by default

Now that we have a mechanism for declaring path sub-options, we can
start to pile on features!

Many power users have expressed frustration that bare `hg push`
attempts to push all local revisions to the remote. This patch
introduces the "pushrev" path sub-option to control which revisions
are pushed when no "-r" argument is specified.

The value of this sub-option is a revset, naturally.

A future feature addition could potentially introduce a "pushnames"
sub-options that declares the list of names (branches, bookmarks,
topics, etc) to push by default. The entire "what to push by default"
feature should probably be considered before this patch lands.

``pushurl``
   The URL to use for push operations. If not defined, the location
   defined by the path's main entry is used.

The following special named paths exist:

``default``
   The URL or directory to use when no source or remote is specified.

``pushurl``

``pushrev``
   A revset defining which revisions to push by default.

   When :hg:`push` is executed without a ``-r`` argument, the revset
   defined by this sub-option is evaluated to determine what to push.

   For example, a value of ``.`` will push the working directory's
   revision by default.

   Revsets specifying bookmarks will not result in the bookmark being
   pushed.
