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.

Create a reflog for the tag. To globally enable reflogs for tags, see
`core.logAllRefUpdates` in linkgit:git-config[1].
