Automatically garbage-collect Copilot checkpoint refs when sessions are archived

### Description

Copilot worktree sessions create large numbers of refs under `refs/copilot/checkpoints/*` and `refs/copilot-preserved/*`. These refs remain after sessions/worktrees are archived, preventing Git garbage collection and consuming significant disk space.

Please automatically clean up a session’s internal Git refs when that session is archived.

### Expected behavior

1. Preserve refs for active sessions and worktrees.

2. On archive, retain only the minimum snapshot needed to restore the session, or remove all internal refs if restoration does not require them.

3. Remove obsolete `refs/copilot/checkpoints//*` and related preserved refs.

4. Prune stale worktree metadata.

5. Run deferred Git maintenance (`reflog expire` and `git gc`) when safe.

6. Never delete user branches, remote refs, commits reachable from active sessions, or uncommitted work.

7. Provide a “Clean up archived session data” action for existing orphaned checkpoints.

### Motivation

In my repositories, archived Copilot sessions left tens of thousands of checkpoint refs. They retained approximately **1.3 GB** in one Android repository and **742 MB** in an iOS repository even after local branches were deleted. Manual ref deletion and Git garbage collection were required to reclaim the space.

Start with the archive flow for Copilot worktree sessions and the internal refs named in the issue: refs/copilot/checkpoints//* and refs/copilot-preserved/*. Trace how archived sessions, worktree metadata, and the requested cleanup action are represented. Done means safely reclaiming obsolete archived data while preserving active sessions, user refs, reachable commits, and uncommitted work.
