[PATCH 2/5] t1400: set core.logAllRefUpdates in "logged by touch" tests

A group of update-ref tests verifies that logs are created when either the log file for the ref already exists or core.logAllRefUpdates is "true". However, when the default for core.logAllRefUpdates was changed in 0bee59186 (Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory., 2006-12-14), the setup for the tests was not updated. As a result, the "logged by touch" tests would pass even if the log file did not exist (i.e., if "--create-reflog" was removed from the first "git update-ref" call).

Update the "logged by touch" tests to disable core.logAllRefUpdates explicitly so that the behavior does not depend on the default value. While we're here, update the "logged by config" tests to use test_config() rather than setting core.logAllRefUpdates to "true" outside of the tests.

I'm confused about the setup for the "logged by touch" tests. d0ab05849 (tests: remove some direct access to .git/logs, 2015-07-27) changed the setup to delete the log file itself rather than its contents. The reflog was then recreated by using "--create-reflog" in the "create $m (logged by touch)" test. What I don't understand is how this change fits with d0ab05849, which seems to be concerned with loosening the assumption that the logs are stored in .git/logs. For these particular tests, we are still removing .git/logs/refs/heads/master explictly, so why not leave the empty file around so that the "create $m (logged by touch)" actually tests that update-ref call is logged by the existence of the log rather than using "--create-reflog", which overrides this?
