If a repo contains a multi-pack-index, then the packed_git list
does not contain the packfiles that are covered by the multi-pack-index.
This is important for doing object lookups, abbreviations, and
approximating object count. However, there are many operations that
really want to iterate over all packfiles.
Create a new 'all_packs' linked list that contains this list, starting
with the packfiles in the multi-pack-index and then continuing along
the packed_git linked list.

The logic for constructing the linked list of multi-pack-indexes
in the object store is incorrect. If the local object store has
a multi-pack-index, but an alternate does not, then the list is
dropped.
Add tests that would have revealed this bug.

When an object fails to decompress from a pack-file, we mark the object
as 'bad' so we can retry with a different copy of the object (if such a
copy exists).
Before now, the multi-pack-index did not update the bad objects list for
the pack-files it contains, and we did not check the bad objects list
when reading an object. Now, do both.

A pack-file is 'local' if it is stored within the usual object
directory. If it is stored in an alternate, it is non-local.
Pack-files are stored using a 'pack_local' member in the packed_git
struct. Add a similar 'local' member to the multi_pack_index struct
and 'local' parameters to the methods that load and prepare multi-
pack-indexes.

If a 'git repack' command replaces existing packfiles, then we must
clear the existing multi-pack-index before moving the packfiles it
references.

The core.multiPackIndex config setting controls the multi-pack-
index (MIDX) feature. If false, the setting will disable all reads
from the multi-pack-index file.
Read this config setting in the new prepare_multi_pack_index_one()
which is called during prepare_packed_git(). This check is run once
per repository.
Add comparison commands in t5319-multi-pack-index.sh to check
typical Git behavior remains the same as the config setting is turned
on and off. This currently includes 'git rev-list' and 'git log'
commands to trigger several object database reads. Currently, these
would only catch an error in the prepare_multi_pack_index_one(), but
with later commits will catch errors in object lookups, abbreviations,
and approximate object counts.

The final pair of chunks for the multi-pack-index file stores the object
offsets. We default to using 32-bit offsets as in the pack-index version
1 format, but if there exists an offset larger than 32-bits, we use a
trick similar to the pack-index version 2 format by storing all offsets
at least 2^31 in a 64-bit table; we use the 32-bit table to point into
that 64-bit table as necessary.
We only store these 64-bit offsets if necessary, so create a test that
manipulates a version 2 pack-index to fake a large offset. This allows
us to test that the large offset table is created, but the data does not
match the actual packfile offsets. The multi-pack-index offset does match
the (corrupted) pack-index offset, so a future feature will compare these
offsets during a 'verify' step.

Before writing a list of objects and their offsets to a multi-pack-index,
we need to collect the list of objects contained in the packfiles. There
may be multiple copies of some objects, so this list must be deduplicated.
It is possible to artificially get into a state where there are many
duplicate copies of objects. That can create high memory pressure if we
are to create a list of all objects before de-duplication. To reduce
this memory pressure without a significant performance drop,
automatically group objects by the first byte of their object id. Use
the IDX fanout tables to group the data, copy to a local array, then
sort.
Copy only the de-duplicated entries. Select the duplicate based on the
most-recent modified time of a packfile containing the object.

The multi-pack-index needs to track which packfiles it indexes. Store
these in our first required chunk. Since filenames are not well
structured, add padding to keep good alignment in later chunks.
Modify the 'git multi-pack-index read' subcommand to output the
existence of the pack-file name chunk. Modify t5319-multi-pack-index.sh
to reflect this new output and the new expected number of chunks.
Defense in depth: A pattern we are using in the multi-pack-index feature
is to verify the data as we write it. We want to ensure we never write
invalid data to the multi-pack-index. There are many checks that verify
that the values we are writing fit the format definitions. This mainly
helps developers while working on the feature, but it can also identify
issues that only appear when dealing with very large data sets. These
large sets are hard to encode into test cases.

As we begin writing the multi-pack-index format to disk, start with
the basics: the 12-byte header and the 20-byte checksum footer. Start
with these basics so we can add the rest of the format in small
increments.
As we implement the format, we will use a technique to check that our
computed offsets within the multi-pack-index file match what we are
actually writing. Each method that writes to the hashfile will return
the number of bytes written, and we will track that those values match
our expectations.
Currently, write_midx_header() returns 12, but is not checked. We will
check the return value in a later commit.

In anticipation of writing multi-pack-indexes, add a skeleton
'git multi-pack-index write' subcommand and send the options to a
write_midx_file() method. Also create a skeleton test script that
tests the 'write' subcommand.
