b706fcfe93 commit: allow suppression of implicit identity advice
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity
was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos
information, in case it is not correct. Most users will
suppress this by simply setting up their information
correctly.

However, there may be some users who consciously want to use
that information, because having the value change from host
to host contains useful information. These users can now set
advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message.

4c371f9127 merge-recursive: point the user to commit when file would be overwritten.
The commit-before-pull is well accepted in the DVCS community, but is
confusing some new users. This should get them back in the right way when
the problem occurs.

edf563fbaa status: make "how to stage" messages optional
These messages are nice for new users, but experienced git
users know how to manipulate the index, and these messages
waste a lot of screen real estate.

75194438f4 push: make non-fast-forward help message configurable
This message is designed to help new users understand what
has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not
help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters
the output, frequently dwarfing the regular status table and
making it harder to see.

This patch introduces a general configuration mechanism for
optional messages, with this push message as the first
example.
