gc: make --prune useful again by accepting an optional parameter

With this patch, "git gc --no-prune" will not prune any loose (and
dangling) object, and "git gc --prune=5.minutes.ago" will prune
all loose objects older than 5 minutes.

This patch benefitted from suggestions by Thomas Rast and Jan Krï¿œger.
