Move GC into PHP and simplify it

Summary:
  - Move GC options into PHP.
  - Remove the "run at" and "run for" options. The GC daemon doesn't actually do any table scans, is very gentle, and runs for like 3 seconds per day in any normal install. Just limit it to running once every 4 hours when it's caught up and call it a day.

Test Plan: Edited GC options.
