repack: respect kept objects with '--write-midx -b'

Browse source 
Historically, we needed a single packfile in order to have reachability
bitmaps. This introduced logic that when 'git repack' had a '-b' option
that we should stop sending the '--honor-pack-keep' option to the 'git
pack-objects' child process, ensuring that we create a packfile
containing all reachable objects.

In the world of multi-pack-index bitmaps, we no longer need to repack
all objects into a single pack to have valid bitmaps. Thus, we should
continue sending the '--honor-pack-keep' flag to 'git pack-objects'.

The fix is very simple: only disable the flag when writing bitmaps but
also _not_ writing the multi-pack-index.

This opens the door to new repacking strategies that might want to keep
some historical set of objects in a stable pack-file while only
repacking more recent objects.

To test, create a new 'test_subcommand_inexact' helper that is more
flexible than 'test_subcommand'. This allows us to look for the
--honor-pack-keep flag without over-indexing on the exact set of
arguments.
