The `rabbit_mgmt_gc` gen_server performs garbage collections
periodically. When doing so it can create potentially fairly large
terms, for example by creating a set out of
`rabbit_exchange:list_names/0`. With many exchanges, for example, the
process memory usage can climb steadily especially when the management
agent is mostly idle since `rabbit_mgmt_gc` won't hit enough reductions
to cause a full-sweep GC on itself. Since the process is only active
periodically (once every 2min by default) we can hibernate it to GC the
terms it created.
This can save a medium amount of memory in situations where there are
very many pieces of metadata (exchanges, vhosts, queues, etc.). For
example on an idle single-node broker with 50k exchanges,
`rabbit_mgmt_gc` can hover around 50MB before being naturally GC'd. With
this patch the process memory usage stays consistent between `start_gc`
timer messages at around 1KB.
