core.hidedotfiles: hide '.git' dir by default

At least for cross-platform projects, it makes sense to hide the
files starting with a dot, as this is the behavior on Unix/MacOSX.

However, at least Eclipse has problems interpreting the hidden flag
correctly, so the default is to hide only the .git/ directory.

The config setting core.hideDotFiles therefore supports not only
'true' and 'false', but also 'dotGitOnly'.

[jes: clarified the commit message, made git init respect the setting
by marking the .git/ directory only after reading the config, and added
documentation, and rebased on top of current junio/next]
