Merge branch 'document-need-owner-or-master-permission-for-initial-push' into 'master'

document the need to be owner or have the master permission level for the initial push

## What does this MR do?

It documents the new behavior as discussed on gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#22543, because the `/protected_branch` URL of empty repository is not available and could mislead users.

## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

Don't think so

## Why was this MR needed?

When you create a repository on GitLab, command line instructions on its home page for the use case _"Existing folder or Git repository"_ invite you to `git push -u origin master`, but the very first push is now rejected if you are not `Owner` or attributed `Master` permission.
