bug#65700: time when gcs-done is updated needs to be clarified

Hmm... that doesn't really explain in which way this affects your code.
If you only ever run that from `post-gc-hook` the only difference is
that `gcs-done` will be always smaller by 1 and since it doesn't start
at 0 anyway it's not really relevant: it will still increase by 1 every
time `post-gc-hook` is run.

FWIW, I tend to agree that it would be more useful to run `post-gc-hook`
after those values have been updated.  So that `post-gc-hook` can know
the exact duration of the GC that we just finished, rather than the one
before that.

Any objection to the patch below?
