Enhancement: Support pruning even when the disk is full
prune: Add unsafe option to recover from no free space The new option allows prune to operate with nearly no scratch space by only removing no longer necessary pack files and first deleting the index before rebuilding it. By first deleting the index it becomes safe to just delete no longer necessary pack files. However, as a downside there's now the risk that the repository becomes inaccessible if prune fails. To recover from that problem a user might have to manually delete the repository index and then run (a full) `rebuild-index` again.
