GC: don't loosen doomed objects
If the pruneexpire config is set to "now", then any unreferenced loose
objects are immediately eligible for gc. So there is no need to
actually write the loose objects.
Users who run hosting services which sometimes accept large, entirely
garbage packs might set the following configurations:
gc.pruneExpire = now
gc.prunePackExpire = 2.weeks
Then garbage objects will be kept around in packs, but after two weeks
the packs themselves will get deleted.
For client-side users of jgit, the default settings will loosen
garbage objects, and, after an hour, delete the old packs in which
they resided.
