midx-write.c: tolerate --preferred-pack without bitmaps

Browse source 
When passing a preferred pack to the MIDX write machinery, we ensure
that the given preferred pack is non-empty since 5d3cd09a80 (midx:
reject empty `--preferred-pack`'s, 2021-08-31).

However packs are only loaded (via `write_midx_internal()`, though a
subsequent patch will refactor this code out to its own function) when
the `MIDX_WRITE_REV_INDEX` flag is set.

So if a caller runs:

    $ git multi-pack-index write --preferred-pack=...

with both (a) an existing MIDX, and (b) specifies a pack from that MIDX
as the preferred one, without passing `--bitmap`, then the check added
in 5d3cd09a80 will result in a segfault.

Note that packs loaded from disk which don't appear in an existing MIDX
do not trigger this issue, as those packs are loaded unconditionally. We
conditionally load packs from a MIDX since we tolerate MIDXs whose
packs do not resolve (i.e., via the MIDX write after removing
unreferenced packs via 'git multi-pack-index expire').

In practice, this isn't possible to trigger when running `git
multi-pack-index write` from `git repack`, as the latter always passes
`--stdin-packs`, which prevents us from loading an existing MIDX, as it
forces all packs to be read from disk.

But a future commit in this series will change that behavior to
unconditionally load an existing MIDX, even with `--stdin-packs`, making
this behavior trigger-able from 'repack' much more easily.

Prevent this from being an issue by removing the segfault altogether by
calling `prepare_midx_pack()` on packs loaded from an existing MIDX when
either the `MIDX_WRITE_REV_INDEX` flag is set *or* we specified a
`--preferred-pack`.
