[PATCH v2 4/7] maintenance: add [un]register subcommands

In-Reply-To
<pull.724.v2.git.1599846560.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

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.
