Write errors when repacking (eg, due to out-of-space conditions) can leave temporary packs (and possibly other files beginning with "tmp_") lying around which no existing codepath removes and which aren't obvious to the casual user. These can also be multi-megabyte files wasting noticeable space. Unfortunately there's no way to definitely tell in builtin-prune that a tmp_ file is not being used by a concurrent process. However, it is documented that pruning should only be done on a quiet repository and --expire is honoured (using code from Johannes Schindelin). The names of removed files are printed.

This version incorporates all the agreed with changes from the previous version, and since I was modifying the relevant context lines it includes Johannes' code honouring --expire (but not the test he wrote which is presumably best sent as a separate patch from him).
Hopefully this one won't get whitespace munged.
