Change createrepo recommendation

Previously, the Scripts repo was generated without sqlite databases 
for yum. These would be nice to have, as they make the yum update
process better (yum would have to generate the databases itself, 
slowing it down). Recommendation is now to do `createrepo -d`, to
generate the databases. 

This recommendation has not been added to upgrade-tips, because it
doesn't really matter for mock-local.
