feat(ops/modules): Add module for automatically collecting garbage r/2511

Adds a module that automatically collects garbage based on disk space
thresholds, and configures it to run hourly on whitby.

This is implemented as an alternative to cl/2937, which I've been told
uses a Nix feature that doesn't actually work.

Under-the-hood this is simply a systemd timer running a shell script
which checks available disk space and runs GC when necessary.
