Fix: bd init --no-db now sets no-db: true in config.yaml

GH #210: bd init --no-db was creating config.yaml but leaving
no-db commented out, forcing users to pass --no-db on every command.

Changes:
- Modified createConfigYaml() to accept noDbMode parameter
- When true, writes 'no-db: true' instead of '# no-db: false'
- Added TestInitNoDbMode() to verify end-to-end workflow

The config reading logic was already in place (main.go:122), just needed
to write the correct value during init.

Fixes bd-5cny
