gc docs: downplay the usefulness of --aggressive
The existing "gc --aggressive" docs come just short of recommending to
users that they run it regularly. I've personally talked to many users
who've taken these docs as an advice to use this option, and have,
usually it's (mostly) a waste of time.
So let's clarify what it really does, and let the user draw their own
conclusions.
Let's also clarify the "The effects [...] are persistent" to
paraphrase a brief version of Jeff King's explanation at [1].
