Fix GH #210: bd init --no-db now creates metadata.json and config.yaml

Problem: bd init --no-db returned early (line 131) before creating config files,
causing 'no beads database found' errors on subsequent commands.

Solution:
- Extracted createConfigYaml() helper function
- Call it in both --no-db and normal paths
- Create metadata.json in --no-db path before early return

Fixes bd-c66a
