doc/git-howto: Replace "git push" example by one with dry-run

@section Pushing changes to remote trees
@example
-git push
+git push origin master --dry-run
@end example
-Will push the changes to the default remote (@var{origin}).
+Will simulate a push of the local master branch to the default remote

+pushed.
Git will prevent you from pushing changes if the local and remote trees are
out of sync. Refer to @ref{Updating the source tree to the latest revision}.
