Subject: Refactor autofetch logic

Code for handling the auto background fetch is merged down to 1
function, and various changes are made to improve portability and POSIX
compliance.

The "lastupdatetime" file now stores the unix timestamp in its content,
rather than the mtime timestamp.  This will provide better platform
cross-compatibility, and allows us to drop some code which trys to
handle different styles of the stat command.

Furthermore, the path to this file (or the .git directory) is no longer
cached, since it only needs to be obtained by the script once in this
spot.

The `[ "$timestamp" -eq "$timestamp" ]` syntax is used to confirm that
the content of the "lastupdatetime" file is an integer.  This will fail
on first encounter with a repository, or if migrating from the old
timestamp-based format, or if the file was just mucked with, in which
case $timestamp is forced to 0, and a fetch will very likely just occur
on the spot.  This will fixup the file by writing a new timestamp out to
it.
