init-db: document existing bug with core.bare in template config

The comments in create_default_files() talks about reading config from
the config file in the specified `--templates` directory, which leads to
the question of whether core.bare could be set in such a config file and
thus whether the code is doing the right thing.  It turns out, that it
doesn't; it unconditionally ignores core.bare in the config file in any
--templates directory.  It is not clear to me that fixing it can be done
within this function; it seems to occur too late:
  * create_default_files() is called by init_db()
  * init_db() is called by both builtin/{clone.c,init-db.c}
  * both callers of init_db() call set_git_work_tree() before init_db()
and in order to actual affect whether a repository is bear, we'd need to
somewhere reset these values, not just the is_bare_repository_cfg
setting.

I do not want to open this can of worms at this time; I'm trying to
clean up some headers, for which I need to move some functions, for
which I need to clean up some globals, and that's far enough down the
rabbit hole.  So, simply document the issue with a careful TODO comment
and a few testcases.
