Time based eviction strategy for repository cache

When Repository.close() decrements the useCount to 0 currently the cache
immediately evicts the repository from WindowCache and RepositoryCache.
This leads to I/O overhead on busy repositories because pack files and
references are inserted and deleted from the cache frequently.

This commit defers the eviction of a repository from the caches until
last use of the repository is older than time to live. The eviction is
handled by a background task running periodically.

Add two new configuration parameters:
* core.repositoryCacheExpireAfter: cache entries are evicted if the
cache entry wasn't accessed longer than this time in milliseconds
* core.repositoryCacheCleanupDelay: defines the interval in milliseconds
for running a background task evicting expired cache entries. If set to
-1 the delay is set to min(repositoryCacheExpireAfter, 10 minutes). If
set to 0 the time based eviction is switched off and no background task
is started. If time based eviction is switched off the JVM can still
evict cache entries if heap memory is running low.
