init: remove git_init_db_config() while fixing leaks

The primary goal of this change is to stop leaking init_db_template_dir.
This leak can happen because:
 1. git_init_db_config() allocates new memory into init_db_template_dir
    without first freeing the existing value.
 2. init_db_template_dir might already contain data, either because:
  2.1 git_config() can be invoked twice with this callback in a single
      process - at least 2 allocations are likely.
  2.2 A single git_config() allocation can invoke the callback multiple
      times for a given key (see further explanation in the function
      docs) - each of those calls will trigger another leak.

The simplest fix for the leak would be to free(init_db_template_dir)
before overwriting it. Instead we choose to convert to fetching
init.templatedir via git_config_get_value() as that is more explicit,
more efficient, and avoids allocations (the returned result is owned by
the config cache, so we aren't responsible for freeing it).

If we remove init_db_template_dir, git_init_db_config() ends up being
responsible only for forwarding core.* config values to
platform_core_config(). However platform_core_config() already ignores
non-core.* config values, so we can safely remove git_init_db_config()
and invoke git_config() directly with platform_core_config() as the
callback.

The platform_core_config forwarding was originally added in:
  2878533 (mingw: respect core.hidedotfiles = false in git-init again, 2019-03-11
And I suspect the potential for a leak existed since the original
implementation of git_init_db_config in:
  90b4518 (Add `init.templatedir` configuration variable., 2010-02-17)
