gc: add --expire-to option

Browse Source 
This commit extends the functionality of `git gc`
by adding a new option, `--expire-to=<dir>`. Previously,
this feature was implemented in 91badeba32 (builtin/repack.c:
implement `--expire-to` for storing pruned objects, 2022-10-24),
which allowing users to specify a directory where unreachable
and expired cruft packs are stored during garbage collection.
However, users had to run `git repack --cruft --expire-to=<dir>`
followed by `git prune` to achieve similar results within `git gc`.

By introducing `--expire-to=<dir>` directly into `git gc`,
we simplify the process for users who wish to manage their
repository's cleanup more efficiently. This change involves
passing the `--expire-to=<dir>` parameter through to `git repack`,
making it easier for users to set up a backup location for cruft
packs that will be pruned.

Due to the original `git gc --prune=now` deleting all unreachable
objects by passing the `-a` parameter to git repack. With the
addition of the `--cruft` and `--expire-to` options, it is necessary
to modify this default behavior: instead of deleting these
unreachable objects, they should be merged into a cruft pack and
collected in a specified directory. Therefore, we do not pass `-a`
to the repack command but instead pass `--cruft`, `--expire-to`,
and `--cruft-expiration=now` to repack.
