[PATCH 2/4] builtin/repack.c: pass "cruft_expiration" to `write_cruft_pack`

`builtin/repack.c`'s `write_cruft_pack()` is used to generate the cruft pack when `--cruft` is supplied. It uses a static variable "cruft_expiration" which is filled in by option parsing.

A future patch will add an `--expire-to` option which allows `git repack` to write a cruft pack containing the pruned objects out to a separate repository. In order to implement this functionality, some callers will have to pass a value for `cruft_expiration` different than the one filled out by option parsing.

Prepare for this by teaching `write_cruft_pack` to take a "cruft_expiration" parameter, instead of reading a single static variable.

The (sole) existing caller of `write_cruft_pack()` will pass the value for "cruft_expiration" filled in by option parsing, retaining existing behavior. This means that we can make the variable local to `cmd_repack()`, and eliminate the static declaration.
