In the scalar code we iterate through multiple repositories,
initializing each of them. We never clear them though, causing memory
leaks. Plug them.

Some users have strong aversions to Scalar's opinion that the repository
should be in a 'src' directory, even though this creates a clean slate
for placing build artifacts in adjacent directories.
The new --no-src option allows users to opt out of the default behavior.
While adding options, make sure the usage output by 'scalar clone -h'
reports the same as the SYNOPSIS line in Documentation/scalar.txt.

A user reported issues with 'scalar clone' and 'scalar register' when
working in an environment that had locked down the ability to run
'crontab' or 'systemctl' in that those commands registered as _failures_
instead of opportunistically reporting a success with just a warning
about background maintenance.
As a workaround, they can use GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER to fake a
successful background maintenance, but this is not a viable strategy for
long-term.
Update 'scalar register' and 'scalar clone' to no longer fail by
modifying register_dir() to only warn when toggle_maintenance(1) fails.
Since background maintenance is a "nice to have" and not a requirement
for a working repository, it is best to move this from hard error to
gentle warning.

A user recently reported issues with 'scalar register' and 'scalar
clone' in that they failed when the system had permissions locked down
so both 'crontab' and 'systemctl' commands failed when trying to enable
background maintenance.
This hard error is undesirable, but let's create tests that demonstrate
this behavior before modiying the behavior. We can use
GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER to guarantee failure and check the exit code
and error message.

Sometimes when users use scalar to download a monorepo with a long
commit history, they want to check the progress bar to know how long
they still need to wait during the fetch process, but scalar
suppresses this output by default.
So let's check whether scalar stderr refer to a terminal, if so,
show progress, otherwise disable it.

Create a new test file ('t9211-scalar-clone.sh') to exercise the options and
behavior of the 'scalar clone' command. Each test clones to a unique target
location and cleans up the cloned repo only when the test passes. This
ensures that failed tests' artifacts are captured in CI artifacts for
further debugging.
