This PR adds a task to the cron service to allow garbage collection of
LFS meta objects. As repositories may have a large number of
LFSMetaObjects, an updated column is added to this table and it is used
to perform a generational GC to attempt to reduce the amount of work.
(There may need to be a bit more work here but this is probably enough
for the moment.)
Fix#7045

After #22362, we can feel free to use transactions without
`db.DefaultContext`.
And there are still lots of models using `db.DefaultContext`, I think we
should refactor them carefully and one by one.

The recent PR adding orphaned checks to the LFS storage is not
sufficient to completely GC LFS, as it is possible for LFSMetaObjects to
remain associated with repos but still need to be garbage collected.
Imagine a situation where a branch is uploaded containing LFS files but
that branch is later completely deleted. The LFSMetaObjects will remain
associated with the Repository but the Repository will no longer contain
any pointers to the object.
This PR adds a second doctor command to perform a full GC.
