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.

When constructing a multi-pack-index file for a given object directory,
read the files within the enclosed pack directory and find matches that
end with ".idx" and find the correct paired packfile using
add_packed_git().

As we build the multi-pack-index file format, we want to test the format
on real repositories. Add tests that create repository data including
multiple packfiles with both version 1 and version 2 formats.
The current 'git multi-pack-index write' command will always write the
same file with no "real" data. This will be expanded in future commits,
along with the test expectations.

Create a new multi_pack_index struct for loading multi-pack-indexes into
memory. Create a test-tool builtin for reading basic information about
that multi-pack-index to verify the correct data is written.

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.
