gc: automatically write commit-graph files

The commit-graph file is a very helpful feature for speeding up git
operations. In order to make it more useful, make it possible to
write the commit-graph file during standard garbage collection
operations.

Add a 'gc.commitGraph' config setting that triggers writing a
commit-graph file after any non-trivial 'git gc' command. Defaults to
false while the commit-graph feature matures. We specifically do not
want to have this on by default until the commit-graph feature is fully
integrated with history-modifying features like shallow clones.
