Before:
int lfsr_fs_gc(lfs_t *lfs, lfs_soff_t steps, uint32_t flags);
After:
int lfsr_gc(lfs_t *lfs);
int lfsr_gc_setflags(lfs_t *lfs, uint32_t flags);
int lfsr_gc_setsteps(lfs_t *lfs, lfs_soff_t steps);

The interesting thing about the lfsr_gc API is that the caller will
often be very different from whoever configures the system. One example
being an OS calling lfsr_gc in a background loop, while leaving
configuration up to the user.
The idea here, is instead of forcing the OS to come up with its own
stateful system to pass flags to lfsr_gc, we just embed this state in
littlefs directly. The whole point of lfsr_gc is that it's a stateful
system anyways.
Unfortunately this state does require a bit more logic to maintain,
which adds code/ctx cost:
code stack ctx
