maintenance: create maintenance.strategy config
To provide an on-ramp for users to use background maintenance without
several 'git config' commands, create a 'maintenance.strategy' config
option. Currently, the only important value is 'incremental' which
assigns the following schedule:
* gc: never
* prefetch: hourly
* commit-graph: hourly
* loose-objects: daily
* incremental-repack: daily
These tasks are chosen to minimize disruptions to foreground Git
commands and use few compute resources.
The 'maintenance.strategy' is intended as a baseline that can be
customzied further by manually assigning 'maintenance.<task>.enabled'
and 'maintenance.<task>.schedule' config options, which will override
any recommendation from 'maintenance.strategy'. This operates similarly
to config options like 'feature.experimental' which operate as "meta"
config options that change default config values.
This presents a way forward for updating the 'incremental' strategy in
the future or adding new strategies. For example, a potential strategy
could be to include a 'full' strategy that runs the 'gc' task weekly
and no other tasks by default.
