gitserver: set gc.pid file during sg maintenance

Administrator requested to merge sh/set-gcpid into main

Created by: stefanhengl

With this change we place a gc.pid file in the repo dir while sg maintenance is running. The gc.pid file acts as a lock and is respected by git-gc. Internally, git-gc uses the same mechanism.

Test plan

  • New unit tests
  • I verified manually that placing a gc.pid file in a repository is respected by git-gc
