midx.c: respect 'pack.writeBitmapHashcache' when writing bitmaps
In the previous commit, the bitmap writing code learned to propagate values from an existing hash-cache extension into the bitmap that it is writing. Now that that functionality exists, let's expose it by teaching the 'git multi-pack-index' builtin to respect the `pack.writeBitmapHashCache` option so that the hash-cache may be written at all. Two minor points worth noting here: - The 'git multi-pack-index write' sub-command didn't previously read any configuration (instead this is handled in the base command). A separate handler is added here to respect this write-specific config option. - I briefly considered adding a 'bitmap_flags' field to the static options struct, but decided against it since it would require plumbing through a new parameter to the write_midx_file() function. Instead, a new MIDX-specific flag is added, which is translated to the corresponding bitmap one. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
