Documentation: update tar.umask default

As noted by Mike Hommey, the documentation for the config setting tar.umask
is not up-to-date.  Commit f08b3b0e2e9ad87767d80ff03b013c686e08ba4b changed
the default from 0 to 2; this patch finally documents it.

-	the same permissions as gitlink:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
-	value remains 0, which means world read-write.
+	This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
