[PATCH v6 11/18] commit-graph: expire commit-graph files

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

As we merge commit-graph files in a commit-graph chain, we should clean
up the files that are no longer used.

This change introduces an 'expiry_window' value to the context, which is
always zero (for now). We then check the modified time of each
graph-{hash}.graph file in the $OBJDIR/info/commit-graphs folder and
unlink the files that are older than the expiry_window.

Since this is always zero, this immediately clears all unused graph
files. We will update the value to match a config setting in a future
change.

+## Deleting graph-{hash} files
+
+After a new tip file is written, some `graph-{hash}` files may no longer
+be part of a chain. It is important to remove these files from disk, eventually.
+The main reason to delay removal is that another process could read the
+`commit-graph-chain` file before it is rewritten, but then look for the
+`graph-{hash}` files after they are deleted.
+
+To allow holding old split commit-graphs for a while after they are unreferenced,
+we update the modified times of the files when they become unreferenced. Then,
+we scan the `$OBJDIR/info/commit-graphs/` directory for `graph-{hash}`
+files whose modified times are older than a given expiry window. This window
+defaults to zero, but can be changed using command-line arguments or a config
+setting.

 In a repo with alternates, we look for the `commit-graph-chain` file starting
