Adam Majer 8e42eb0e9a doc: sha256 is no longer experimental
Remove scary wording that basically stops people using sha256
repositories not because of interoperability issues with sha1
repositories, but from fear that their work will suddenly become
incompatible in some future version of git.

We should be clear that currently sha256 repositories will not work with
sha1 repositories but stop the scary words.

Note: At present, there is no interoperability between SHA-256
repositories and SHA-1 repositories.
Historically, we warned that SHA-256 repositories may later need
backward incompatible changes when we introduce such interoperability
features. Today, we only expect compatible changes. Furthermore, if such
changes prove to be necessary, it can be expected that SHA-256 repositories
created with today's Git will be usable by future versions of Git
without data loss.
