Gitleaks

Features

• Default go-routines spawn defaults to # cores your cpu runs with (assuming hyperthreading=2threads/core). Value comes from GOMAXPROCS/2. I did some benchmarking and notices a plateau when go-routines=max cores. Makes sense cause each goroutine will be redlining that core.

• When auditing users/orgs gitleaks will now delete the repo from disk after the repo audit has been completed if running with --disk option. Before v1.6.0, gitleaks would wait until the entire org audit has been complete.... so you were at risk of running out of disk space. This eliminates that fear.
