Push change to gerrit review

Assuming origin is https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5 and you want to
push the changeset at HEAD, this will create a new review request on top of the
master branch. More generally,
- > git push <gem5 gerrit instance> <changeset>:refs/for/<branch>

Within the error message, there is a command line you should run. For every new
clone of the git repo, you need to run the following command to automatically
insert the change id in the the commit (all on one line).
