node: run git gc on fetch
It is desirable to keep the Git repositories in Radicle efficient by
ensuring objects are packed and unreachable objects are removed.

Add a process call to `git gc` to achieve this. Two flags are used for
garbage collection: `--auto` and `--prune`. Their details are outlined below:

       --auto
           With this option, git gc checks whether any housekeeping is
           required; if not, it exits without performing any work.

       --prune=<date>
           Prune loose objects older than date (default is 2 weeks
           ago, overridable by the config variable
           gc.pruneExpire). --prune=now prunes loose objects
           regardless of their age and increases the risk of
           corruption if another process is writing to the repository
           concurrently; see "NOTES" below. --prune is on by default.

For `--prune` the default used is `1.hours.ago`. This was chosen over
`now` since that may be too aggressive after just fetching new data.
