In https://github.com/microsoft/git/issues/623, it was reported that
the regularly scheduled maintenance stops if one repo in the middle of
the list was found to be missing.
This is undesirable, and points out a gap in the design of `git
for-each-repo`: We need a mode where that command does not stop on an
error, but continues to try running the specified command with the other
repositories.
Imitating the `--keep-going` option of GNU make, this commit teaches
`for-each-repo` the same trick: to continue with the operation on all
the remaining repositories in case there was a problem with one
repository, still setting the exit code to indicate an error occurred.

It can be helpful to store a list of repositories in global or system
config and then iterate Git commands on that list. Create a new builtin
that makes this process simple for experts. We will use this builtin to
run scheduled maintenance on all configured repositories in a future
change.
The test is very simple, but does highlight that the "--" argument is
optional.
