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().
