Update test cases for the new option, and document its usage
and update related references.

 - t/t5533-push-cas.sh:
   Update test cases for "compare-and-swap" when used along with
   "--force-if-includes" helps mitigate overwrites when remote
   ref are updated in the background.

 - Documentation:
   Add reference for the new option, configuration setting
   ("push.useForceIfIncludes") and advise messages.

I think we normally use backquotes for option names in the documentation 
so this would be `--force-if-includes`

It's great to see a couple of tests, however I think it would be useful 
to have some more - one to check that we do not force when the remote is 
rewound and a couple to show that we do force when we should. In 
particular we should still force if we `pull --rebase` and then rewrite 
the local history using `rebase -i` so that the remote ref is no longer 
an ancestor of the local HEAD.

Best Wishes
