[PATCH v2 6/7] builtin/maintenance: add a `--detach` flag

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Same as the preceding commit, add a `--[no-]detach` flag to the
git-maintenance(1) command. This will be used in a subsequent commit to
fix backgrounding of that command when configured with a non-standard
set of tasks.
