[PATCH v3 6/7] builtin/gc: move rerere garbage collection into separate function

From

In-Reply-To
<20250502-pks-maintenance-missing-tasks-v3-0-13e130d36640@pks.im>

Move garbage collection of cached rerere entries into a separate function. This prepares us for a subsequent commit where we introduce a new "rerere-gc" task for git-maintenance(1).
