buildhistory: Drop git-gc call as obsolete

buildhistory used to result in many individual objects in the repo which
could affect performance. This gc call was added over a decade ago to avoid
those performance issues. Modern git calls git-gc when needed and this kind
of workaround should no longer be needed.

There is a small chance this is contributing to problems with the autobuilder
buildhistory repositories, so simplifying the code may help that too.
