push: mention "push.default=tracking" in the documentation

Change the documentation for push.tracking=* to re-include a mention
of what "tracking" does.

The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in
53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16),
this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc:
rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of
"tracking".

Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the
config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd
forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation
mentioned that.

That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should
document what it does. This patch does the latter.

pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from
(i.e. central workflow).
* `tracking` - This is a deprecated synonym for `upstream`.
* `simple` - in centralized workflow, work like `upstream` with an
added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch's name is
different from the local one.
