auto-gc: extract a reusable helper from "git fetch"
Back in 1991006c (fetch: convert argv_gc_auto to struct argv_array,
2014-08-16), we taught "git fetch --quiet" to pass the "--quiet"
option down to "gc --auto". This issue, however, is not limited to
"fetch":
$ git grep -e 'gc.*--auto' \*.c
finds hits in "am", "commit", "merge", and "rebase" and these
commands do not pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto" when they
themselves are told to be quiet.
As a preparatory step, let's introduce a helper function
run_auto_gc(), that the caller can pass a boolean "quiet",
and redo the fix to "git fetch" using the helper.
