A commit deletes the blocks it leaves unreachable: the tree nodes it replaced,
the records it replaced or deleted that no other record shares, and the
previous commit, as the reference PDS does. Until now every block was kept, so
a deleted record stayed in storage, readable by its CID to anything with the
account's storage, extensions included.

`com.atproto.sync.getRepo` then reads the block table a page at a time and
streams it, rather than walking the tree block by block and building the whole
CAR first. The first `getRepo` after upgrading sweeps the blocks stored before,
once, holding writes while it does. A rebuilt tree or an imported repo is swept
the same way.

`com.atproto.sync.getRecord` sends the path from the root to the record, not
every node of the tree.
