Documentation: mention config sources for @{upstream}
The earlier documentation made vague references to "is set to build on".

For example, @{upstream} does not care about remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
