Under certain circumstances, commits that were reachable can be made unreachable, e.g. via `git fetch --prune`. These commits might have been packed already, in which case `git repack -adlf` will just drop them without giving them the usual grace period before an eventual `git prune` (via `git gc`) prunes them.
This is a problem when the `shallow` file still lists them, which is the reason why `git prune` edits that file. And with the proposed changes, `git repack -ad` will now do the same.
Reported by Alejandro Pauly.
Changes since v1:
- Also trigger `prune_shallow()` when `--unpack-unreachable=<approxidate>` was passed to `git repack`.
- No need to trigger `prune_shallow()` when `git repack` was called with `-k`.

To avoid this problem, let's prune the shallow list in `git repack` when
the `-d` option is passed, unless `-A` is passed, too (which would force
the now-unreachable objects to be turned into loose objects instead of
- being deleted).
