by default, gitea does not run git gc so old git objects are not deleted

see gitea's cron.git_gc_repos config

example: run git gc every 3 days

/var/lib/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini

[cron.git_gc_repos]
ENABLED = true
RUN_AT_START = false
SCHEDULE = @every 72h

example: my alchi repo currently has 64MiB
but it should be 21MiB because i removed a branch

see also https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/1494

We do not run the GC cron job in Forgejo, but via this script instead: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-Infrastructure/scripted-configuration/src/branch/main/hosts/admin/home/git/garbage-collection.sh

Running a garbage collection for 100k repos regularly is too heavy.

Objects are kept for about 30 days in most cases.

Thanks. I also enabled cron.delete_missing_repos cron. So I don't need to run both of these commands anymore manually.
