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.
