multi-pack-index: add format details
The multi-pack-index feature generalizes the existing pack-index
feature by indexing objects across multiple pack-files.
Describe the basic file format, using a 12-byte header followed by
a lookup table for a list of "chunks" which will be described later.
The file ends with a footer containing a checksum using the hash
algorithm.
The header allows later versions to create breaking changes by
advancing the version number. We can also change the hash algorithm
using a different version value.
We will add the individual chunk format information as we introduce
the code that writes that information.
