assistant: When creating a new repository use v7 adjusted branches with annex.thin

Rather than direct mode, which this is a small step on the path to
removing.

Init on a crippled filesystem already used v7 adjusted branches,
and like that, this doesn't pose any interoperability issues with old
versions of git-annex that clone the same repo, because files are only
unlocked on the adjusted branch.
