maintenance: add [un]register subcommands

In preparation for launching background maintenance from the 'git
maintenance' builtin, create register/unregister subcommands. These
commands update the new 'maintenance.repos' config option in the global
config so the background maintenance job knows which repositories to
maintain.

These commands allow users to add a repository to the background
maintenance list without disrupting the actual maintenance mechanism.

For example, a user can run 'git maintenance register' when no
background maintenance is running and it will not start the background
maintenance. A later update to start running background maintenance will
then pick up this repository automatically.

The opposite example is that a user can run 'git maintenance unregister'
to remove the current repository from background maintenance without
halting maintenance for other repositories.
