Now that stash_push is used in the no verb form of stash, allow
specifying the command line for this form as well.  Always use -- to
disambiguate pathspecs from other non-option arguments.

I think that makes sense.

Also make git stash -p an alias for git stash push -p.  This allows
users to use git stash -p <pathspec>.

And I think of all the options we discussed for handling "-p", I think
this one makes the most sense.

It may be worth calling out in the documentation that this is how it
works though, so people do not think that:

  git stash -k -p <path>

would work ("git stash -k -p" _does_ happen to work due to the old
options-only rule, but I think we should advertise the general form as
"-p is an alias for "push -p").

Yeah, I think adding something about this in the documentation would
be good.  I'll add a paragraph about this in the re-roll.
