The "loose-objects" maintenance tasks executes git-pack-objects(1) to
pack all loose objects into a new packfile. This command ends up
printing the hash of the packfile to stdout though, which clutters the
output of `git maintenance run`.
Fix this issue by disabling stdout of the child process.

In t7900, we exercise the `--detach` logic by checking whether the
command ended up writing anything to its output or not. This supposedly
works because we close stdin, stdout and stderr when daemonizing. But
one, it breaks on platforms where daemonize is a no-op, like Windows.
And second, that git-maintenance(1) outputs anything at all in these
tests is a bug in the first place that we'll fix in a subsequent commit.
Introduce a new trace2 region around the detach which allows us to more
explicitly check whether the detaching logic was executed. This is a
much more direct way to exercise the logic, provides a potentially
useful signal to tracing logs and also works alright on platforms which
do not have the ability to daemonize.

One of the recently-added tests in t7900 exercises git-maintanance(1)
with the `--detach` flag, which causes it to perform maintenance in the
background. We do not wait for the backgrounded process to exit though,
which causes the process to leak outside of the test, leading to racy
behaviour.
Fix this by synchronizing with the process via a separate file
descriptor. This is the same workaround as we use in t6500, see the
function `run_and_wait_for_auto_gc ()`.

Similar to the preceding commit, introduce a new "init.defaultRefFormat"
config that allows the user to globally set the ref storage format used
by newly created repositories.

The object format for repositories can either be configured explicitly
by passing the `--object-format=` option to git-init(1) or git-clone(1),
or globally by setting the `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
While the former makes sense, setting random environment variables is
not really a good user experience in case someone decides to only use
SHA256 repositories.
It is only natural to expect for a user that things like this can also
be configured via their config. As such, introduce a new config
"init.defaultObjectFormat", similar to "init.defaultBranch", that allows
the user to configure the default object format when creating new repos.
The precedence order now is the following, where the first one wins:
1. The `--object-format=` switch.
2. The `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
3. The `init.defaultObjectFormat` config variable.
This matches the typical precedence order we use in Git. We typically
let the environment override the config such that the latter can easily
be overridden on an ephemeral basis, for example by scripts.

The configuration of repository formats is split up across two functions
`validate_hash_algorithm()` and `validate_ref_storage_format()`. This is
fine as-is, but we are about to extend the logic to also read default
values from the config. With the logic split across two functions, we
would either have to pass in additional parameters read from the config,
or read the config multiple times. Both of these options feel a bit
unwieldy.
Merge the code into a new function `repository_format_configure()` that
is responsible for configuring the whole repository's format. Like this,
we can easily read the config in a single place, only.
Furthermore, move the calls to `repo_set_ref_storage_format()` and
`repo_set_hash_algo()` into this new function as well, such that all the
logic to configure the repository format is self-contained here.

The object format tests create one-shot repositories that are only used
by the respective test, but never delete them. This makes it hard to
pick a proper repository name in subsequent tests, as more and more
names are taken already.
Delete these repositories via `test_when_finished`.

While our object format tests for git-init(1) exercise tests with all
known formats in t0001, the tests for the ref format don't. This leads
to some missing test coverage for interesting cases, like whether or not
a non-default ref storage format causes us to bump the repository format
version. We also don't test for the precedence of the `--ref-format=`
and the `GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT=` environment variable.
Extend the test suite to cover more scenarios related to the ref format.

It was reported that creating a stash with `--keep-index
--include-untracked` causes an error when HEAD points to a commit whose
tree is empty:
$ git stash push --keep-index --include-untracked
error: pathspec ':/' did not match any file(s) known to git
This error comes from `git checkout --no-overlay $i_tree -- :/`, which
we execute to reset the working tree to the state in our index. As the
tree generated from the index is empty in our case, ':/' does not match
any files and thus causes git-checkout(1) to error out.
Fix the issue by skipping the checkout when the index tree is empty. As
explained in the in-code comment, this should be the correct thing to do
as there is nothing that we'd have to reset in the first place.

In the past, we used to execute `git gc --auto` as part of our automatic
housekeeping routines. As git-gc(1) may require quite some time to
perform the housekeeping, it knows to detach itself and run in the
background so that the user can continue their work.
Eventually, we refactored our automatic housekeeping to instead use the
more flexible git-maintenance(1) command. The upside of this new infra
is that the user can configure which maintenance tasks are performed, at
least to a certain degree. So while it continues to run git-gc(1) by
default, it can also be adapted to e.g. use git-multi-pack-index(1) for
maintenance of the object database.
The auto-detach of the new infra is somewhat broken though once the user
configures non-standard tasks. The problem is essentially that we detach
at the wrong level in the process hierarchy: git-maintenance(1) never
detaches itself, but instead it continues to be git-gc(1) which does.
When configured to only run the git-gc(1) maintenance task, then the
result is basically the same as before. But when configured to run other
tasks, then git-maintenance(1) will wait for these to run to completion.
Even worse, it may be that git-gc(1) runs concurrently with other
housekeeping tasks, stomping on each others feet.
Fix this bug by asking git-gc(1) to not detach when it is being invoked
via git-maintenance(1). Instead, git-maintenance(1) now respects a new
config "maintenance.autoDetach", the equivalent of "gc.autoDetach", and
detaches itself into the background when running as part of our auto
maintenance. This should continue to behave the same for all users which
use the git-gc(1) task, only. For others though, it means that we now
properly perform all tasks in the background. The default behaviour of
git-maintenance(1) when executed by the user does not change, it will
remain in the foreground unless they pass the `--detach` option.

When running `git gc --auto`, the command will by default detach and
continue running in the background. This behaviour can be tweaked via
the `gc.autoDetach` config, but not via a command line switch. We need
that in a subsequent commit though, where git-maintenance(1) will want
to ask its git-gc(1) child process to not detach anymore.
Add a `--[no-]detach` flag that does this for us.
