Documentation: clarify multiple pushurls vs urls
In a remote with multiple configured URLs, `git remote -v` shows the
correct url that fetch uses. However, `git config remote.<remote>.url`
returns the last defined url instead. This discrepancy can cause
confusion for users with a remote defined as such, since any url
defined after the first essentially acts as a pushurl.
Add documentation to clarify how fetch interacts with multiple urls
and how push interacts with multiple pushurls and urls.
Add test affirming interaction between fetch and multiple urls.
