So instead of configuring gc_steps at mount time (or eventually compile
time), lfsr_fs_gc now takes a steps parameter that controls how much gc
work to attempt:
int lfsr_fs_gc(lfs_t *lfs, lfs_soff_t steps, uint32_t flags);
This API was needed internally to better deduplicate on-mount gc, and I
figured it might also be useful for users to be able to easily change
gc_steps per lfsr_fs_gc call.
I realize this could also be accomplished with the theoretical
lfsr_fs_gccfg, but it's a bit easier to not need a struct every call.
Most likely, depending on project/system, users will always call
lfsr_fs_gc with either 1 (minimal work) or -1 (maximal work), or, worst
case, can define a system-wide GC_STEPS somewhere.

Deduplicating on-mount gc work better saved some code, though it's worth
noting this could have been done internally and not exposed to users:
code stack
before: 36476 2680 (+0.0%)
after: 36316 (-0.4%) 2680 (+0.0%)
