The -A option calls pack-objects with the --unpack-unreachable option so
that the unreachable objects in local packs are left in the local object
store loose. But if the -d option to repack was _not_ used, then these
unpacked loose objects are redundant and unnecessary.
Update tests in t7701.

We try to avoid using the "-q" or "-e" options, as they are
largely useless, as explained in aadbe44f.
There is one exception for "-e" here, which is in t7701 used
to produce an "or" of patterns. This can be rewritten as an
egrep pattern.
This patch also removes use of "grep -F" in favor of the
more widely available "fgrep".

Unpacked objects should receive the timestamp of the pack they were
unpacked from. Check.

The previous behavior of the -A option was to retain any previously
packed objects which had become unreferenced, and place them into the newly
created pack file. Since git-gc, when run automatically with the --auto
option, calls repack with the -A option, this had the effect of retaining
unreferenced packed objects indefinitely. To avoid this scenario, the
user was required to run git-gc with the little known --prune option or
to manually run repack with the -a option.
This patch changes the behavior of the -A option so that unreferenced
objects that exist in any pack file being replaced, will be unpacked into
the repository. The unreferenced loose objects can then be garbage collected
by git-gc (i.e. git-prune) based on the gc.pruneExpire setting.
Also add new tests for checking whether unreferenced objects which were
previously packed are properly left in the repository unpacked after
repacking.
