maintenance: optionally skip --auto process

Some commands run 'git maintenance run --auto --[no-]quiet' after doing
their normal work, as a way to keep repositories clean as they are used.
Currently, users who do not want this maintenance to occur would set the
'gc.auto' config option to 0 to avoid the 'gc' task from running.
However, this does not stop the extra process invocation. On Windows,
this extra process invocation can be more expensive than necessary.

Allow users to drop this extra process by setting 'maintenance.auto' to
'false'.
