docs: move pack format docs to man section 5

Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving
the various documentation pertaining to the *.pack format and related
files, and updating things that refer to it to link to the new
location.

By moving these we can properly link from the newly created
gitformat-commit-graph to a gitformat-chunk-format page.

Integrating "Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt" and
"Documentation/technical/cruft-packs.txt" might logically be part of
this change, but as those cover parts of the wider "pack
format" (including associated files) that's documented outside of
"Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt" let's leave those for now,
subsequent commit(s) will address those.

+SYNOPSIS

+Used by linkgit:gitformat-commit-graph[5] and the "MIDX" format (see

+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
 
 Some file formats in Git use a common concept of "chunks" to describe
 sections of the file. This allows structured access to a large file by
 scanning a small "table of contents" for the remaining data. This common
 format is used by the `commit-graph` and `multi-pack-index` files. See
-link:technical/pack-format.html[the `multi-pack-index` format] and
+the `multi-pack-index` format in linkgit:gitformat-pack[5] and
 the `commit-graph` format in linkgit:gitformat-commit-graph[5] for
 how they use the chunks to describe structured data.
