doc: add note about ignoring '--no-create-reflog'
The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog' option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates configuration is explicitly set not to. On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a short note in the manuals for git-branch and git-tag.

Note that in non-bare repositories, reflogs are usually
enabled by default by the `core.logallrefupdates` config option.
+ The negated form `--no-create-reflog` only overrides an earlier
+ `--create-reflog`, but currently does not negate the setting of
+ `core.logallrefupdates`.
