baac242a1f Run the garbage collector as a systemd service
Running it from systemd rather than cron has several advantages:
systemd ensures that only one instance runs at a time; the GC can be
manually started/stopped; and logging goes to the journal.

We still need cron to start the service at the right time, but
hopefully soon we can get rid of cron entirely (once systemd supports
starting a unit at a specific time).

f4a6f9e84b * Add options to handle automatic calls to the garbage collector.
These options avoid manual references to pkgs.nixUnstable which might be
  changed with environment.nix option.
