maintenance: create auto condition for loose-objects

The loose-objects task deletes loose objects that already exist in a
pack-file, then place the remaining loose objects into a new pack-file.
If this step runs all the time, then we risk creating pack-files with
very few objects with every 'git commit' process. To prevent
overwhelming the packs directory with small pack-files, place a minimum
number of objects to justify the task.

The 'maintenance.loose-objects.auto' config option specifies a minimum
number of loose objects to justify the task to run under the '--auto'
option. This defaults to 100 loose objects. Setting the value to zero
will prevent the step from running under '--auto' while a negative value
will force it to run every time.
