Should use_github_release() offer to push if needed?

Rather than erroring, as currently.

I've definitely thought about this.

# TODO: consider offering to push for them?

Kind of related to some discussion in r-lib/gert#65 (which lead to gert::git_ahead_behind(), which we are already using).

I think I haven't leaped into action, just because I haven't done a full analysis of the situation where both local and remote have some unique commits. Do we ... attempt to pull with rebase, then push? What if there are merge conflicts?

[hadley]

Maybe we could just push (without asking) if there are local commits missing from the remote, but if there are remote commits missing from local we'd still require the user to fix it up. (That said, I'm not actually sure what you're supposed to do in that scenario, so if we could figure it out, I'd love if it was automated)

Slightly related — should usethis::use_dev_version() also offer to push? It's almost always what you want.
