maintenance: replace run_auto_gc()
The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check
for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or
'git fetch'.
To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace
the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run
--auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other
steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities.
Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is
happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff.
Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls
slightly.
Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'
subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more
descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the
documentation to include these options at the same time.
