cvs.1 & cvs.texinfo: add details about "init" 

Add a section about the "init" command that has been missing all this
time. Part of the basic description is resurrected from r. 1.20 of
cvs.1 (in its prior incarnation in the CVS project tree under /man
rather than /doc), contributed by Tom Lees back in 1999. The caveat
about the history file is copied from elsewhere in the current
cvs.texinfo file. Additional fragments written by me. Addresses the
PR bin/45446.
