Jeremy Stanley 7009d7d03d Clarify that test rebases are not kept
There has been a long-standing misconception that git-review pushes
automatically rebased changes by default. It does not, but our
documentation and context help have been less than clear on that
point, contributing to this impression. Try to do a better job of
explaining that the default rebasing performed by git-review is
purely exploratory, and used only to notify users about possible
merge conflicts with their target branch before pushing a change.
