init: allow specifying the initial branch name for the new repository
There is a growing number of projects and companies desiring to change
the main branch name of their repositories (see e.g.
https://twitter.com/mislav/status/1270388510684598272 for background on
this).
To change that branch name for new repositories, currently the only way
to do that automatically is by copying all of Git's template directory,
then hard-coding the desired default branch name into the `.git/HEAD`
file, and then configuring `init.templateDir` to point to those copied
template files.
To make this process much less cumbersome, let's introduce a new option:
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>`.
