Recommend Git's manyFiles feature (#25977)

Browse source 
Git 2.24 introduced a feature flag for repositories with many files, see:
https://github.blog/2019-11-03-highlights-from-git-2-24/#feature-macros

Since Spack's Git repository contains roughly 8,500 files, it can be
worthwhile to enable this, especially on slow file systems such as NFS:
```
$ hyperfine --warmup 3 'cd spack-default; git status' 'cd spack-manyfiles; git status'
Benchmark #1: cd spack-default; git status
  Time (mean ± σ):      3.388 s ±  0.095 s    [User: 256.2 ms, System: 625.8 ms]
  Range (min … max):    3.168 s …  3.535 s    10 runs

Benchmark #2: cd spack-manyfiles; git status
  Time (mean ± σ):     168.7 ms ±  10.9 ms    [User: 98.6 ms, System: 126.1 ms]
  Range (min … max):   144.8 ms … 188.0 ms    19 runs

Summary
  'cd spack-manyfiles; git status' ran
   20.09 ± 1.42 times faster than 'cd spack-default; git status'
```
