midx: traverse the local MIDX first
When a repository has an alternate object directory configured, callers can traverse through each alternate's MIDX by walking the '->next' pointer. But, when 'prepare_multi_pack_index_one()' loads multiple MIDXs, it places the new ones at the front of this pointer chain, not at the end. This can be confusing for callers such as 'git repack -ad', causing test failures like in t7700.6 with 'GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1'. The occurs when dropping a pack known to the local MIDX with alternates configured that have their own MIDX. Since the alternate's MIDX is returned via 'get_multi_pack_index()', 'midx_contains_pack()' returns true (which is correct, since it traverses through the '->next' pointer to find the MIDX in the chain that does contain the requested object). But, we call 'clear_midx_file()' on 'the_repository', which drops the MIDX at the path of the first MIDX in the chain, which (in the case of t7700.6 is the one in the alternate). This patch addresses that by: - placing the local MIDX first in the chain when calling 'prepare_multi_pack_index_one()', and - introducing a new 'get_local_multi_pack_index()', which explicitly returns the repository-local MIDX, if any. Don't impose an additional order on the MIDX's '->next' pointer beyond that the first item in the chain must be local if one exists so that we avoid a quadratic insertion. Likewise, use 'get_local_multi_pack_index()' in 'remove_redundant_pack()' to fix the formerly broken t7700.6 when run with 'GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1'. Finally, note that the MIDX ordering invariant is only preserved by the insertion order in 'prepare_packed_git()', which traverses through the ODB's '->next' pointer, meaning we visit the local object store first. This fragility makes this an undesirable long-term solution if more callers are added, but it is acceptable for now since this is the only caller.
