Merge branch 'ds/background-maintenance-with-credential'

Background tasks "git maintenance" runs may need to use credential
information when going over the network, but a credential helper
may work only in an interactive environment, and end up blocking a
scheduled task waiting for UI.  Credential helpers can now behave
differently when they are not running interactively.

* ds/background-maintenance-with-credential:
  scalar: configure maintenance during 'reconfigure'
  maintenance: add custom config to background jobs
  credential: add new interactive config option

 Note that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]

+credential.interactive::
+	By default, Git and any configured credential helpers will ask for
+	user input when new credentials are required. Many of these helpers
+	will succeed based on stored credentials if those credentials are
+	still valid. To avoid the possibility of user interactivity from
+	Git, set `credential.interactive=false`. Some credential helpers
+	respect this option as well.

 credential.useHttpPath::
 	When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
 	or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
