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.
