Subject: Add --aggressive option to 'git gc'

This option causes 'git gc' to more aggressively optimize the
repository at the cost of taking much more wall clock and CPU time.

Today this option causes git-pack-objects to use --no-use-delta
option, and it allows the --window parameter to be set via the
gc.aggressiveWindow configuration parameter.

+The optional configuration variable 'gc.aggressiveWindow' controls how
+much time is spent optimizing the delta compression of the objects in
+the repository when the --aggressive option is specified.  The larger
+the value, the more time is spent optimizing the delta compression.  See
+the documentation for the --window' option in gitlink:git-repack[1] for
+more details.  This defaults to 10.
