commands.push: use paths API ui.path instances now collect most of the data used by commands.push(). Move away from ui.expandpath() and call ui.paths.getpath() to get a path instance. Some "pushing to" output was dropped as one test demonstrates. I believe the dropped message was redundant with the error message and the change to be acceptable.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
