maintenance: care about gvfs.sharedCache config

For Scalar and VFS for Git, we use an alternate as a shared object
cache. We need to enable the maintenance builtin to work on that
shared object cache, especially in the background.

'scalar run <task>' would set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to handle this.

We set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY based on the gvfs.sharedCache config,
but we also need the checks in pack_loose() to look at that object
directory instead of the current ODB's.
