create_default_files(): don't set u+x bit on $GIT_DIR/config
Since time immemorial, the test of whether to set "core.filemode"
has been done by trying to toggle the u+x bit on $GIT_DIR/config,
which we know always exists, and then testing whether the change
"took". I find it somewhat odd to use the config file for this
test, but whatever.
The test code didn't set the u+x bit back to its original state
itself, instead relying on the subsequent call to git_config_set()
to re-write the config file with correct permissions.
But ever since
daa22c6f8d config: preserve config file permissions on edits (2014-05-06)
git_config_set() copies the permissions from the old config file to
the new one. This is a good change in and of itself, but it
invalidates the create_default_files()'s assumption, causing "git
init" to leave the executable bit set on $GIT_DIR/config.
Reset the permissions on $GIT_DIR/config when we are done with the
test in create_default_files().
