pack-objects doc: treat output filename as opaque
After 1190a1a (pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash, 2013-12-05), the SHA-1 used to determine the filename is calculated differently. Update the documentation to not guarantee anything more than that the SHA-1 depends on the pack content somehow. Hopefully this will discourage readers from depending on the old or the new calculation.
