 - init: document `init.defaultBranch` better

 Our users are going to be trained to prepare for future change of
 init.defaultBranch configuration variable.

 Expecting a reroll.
 cf. [ref]
 I think a new advice.defaultBranchName is a bad idea.
Unfortunately, this objection is news to me. Why would it be anything but
a legitimate interest to say "yeah, whatever, Git, just use the default
branch name, I'm fine with it"?

Ciao,
