run-command: introduce function to prepare auto-maintenance process

The `run_auto_maintenance()` function is responsible for spawning a new `git maintenance run --auto` process. To do so, it sets up the `sturct child_process` and then runs it by executing `run_command()` directly. This is rather inflexible in case callers want to modify the child process somewhat, e.g. to redirect stderr or stdout. Introduce a new `prepare_auto_maintenance()` function to plug this gap.
