Document garbage collection settings for Git

Browse source 
Add a note to the Git/SSH interface documentation that we recommend to
disable automatic garbage collection and use a maintenance script to
cleanup and optimize the Git repository instead.

Also, add a reference to the Git/SSH interface documentation to the Git
repository setup instructions in INSTALL.

When using Git namespaces, Git advertises refs outside the current namespace as

the order of these patterns is important ("^refs/" must come first) and that
Git 2.7 or newer is required for them to work.
Since garbage collection always affects all objects (from all namespaces), it
is also recommended to disable automatic garbage collection by setting
receive.autogc to false. Remember to periodically run `git gc` manually or
setup a maintenance script which initiates the garbage collection if you follow
this advice. For gc.pruneExpire, we recommend "3.months.ago", such that commits
that became unreachable by TU intervention are kept for a while.
