Housekeeping is not run on wiki repos, causing performance degradation over time
### Summary
Housekeeping tasks are only run on the project repo, not wikis. As a result, an active wiki will slowly accumulate unpacked objects, degrading performance.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a project wiki
1. Perform a number of updates
1. Manually trigger housekeeping
1. Check `<REPO_PATH.wiki.git/objects`, many unpacked objects will be present and no object packfile
### What is the current *bug* behavior?
Wikis become slow due to unpacked git objects.
### What is the expected *correct* behavior?
Wikis do not slow down with use.

From an strace of Gitaly-Ruby, note that `dur` here is just for `open` calls, other syscalls take up the remainder of the time
```
pid dur (ms) first time last time open ct directory name

### Possible fixes
Housekeeping currently runs only [on the project repo](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/aef2c84dad03a09b706698e4cc9879d8183efbd3/app/workers/git_garbage_collect_worker.rb#L72). Adding the wiki repo here would be one way to resolve the issue.
However, if a project is used just for its wiki and the project repo is inactive, housekeeping would never be triggered as the [repack threshold](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/aef2c84dad03a09b706698e4cc9879d8183efbd3/app/services/projects/housekeeping_service.rb#L104) on the project repo will never be hit.
