scalar reconfigure: add --maintenance=<mode> option

When users want to enable the latest and greatest configuration options
recommended by Scalar after a Git upgrade, 'scalar reconfigure --all' is
a great option that iterates over all repos in the multi-valued
'scalar.repos' config key.

However, this feature previously forced users to enable background
maintenance. In some environments this is not preferred.

Add a new --maintenance=<mode> option to 'scalar reconfigure' that
provides options for enabling (default), disabling, or leaving
background maintenance config as-is.
