3 people c26daf578f fix(git): leave reflog expiry to git's defaults (#39703) (#39711) ...

Backport #39703 by @silverwind

Gitea's default `gc.reflogExpire = 90` is parsed by git as
`1990-<month>-<day>`, currently `1990-10-09`, so reachable reflog
entries never expired.

Since git 2.54, auto maintenance runs its reflog-expire task in the
foreground of every push, and its trigger ignores reachability, so busy
repos rerun `git reflog expire --all` on every push without pruning
anything, stalling large repos for over a minute.

- Stop setting `gc.reflogExpire` so git's own defaults apply, and remove
the `90` written by earlier versions
- Treat the legacy `[git.reflog] EXPIRATION` as days, as documented

The next push to each repo prunes the accumulated entries once.
