midx: add packs to packed_git linked list

The multi-pack-index allows searching for objects across multiple
packs using one object list. The original design gains many of
these performance benefits by keeping the packs in the
multi-pack-index out of the packed_git list.

Unfortunately, this has one major drawback. If the multi-pack-index
covers thousands of packs, and a command loads many of those packs,
then we can hit the limit for open file descriptors. The
close_one_pack() method is used to limit this resource, but it
only looks at the packed_git list, and uses an LRU cache to prevent
thrashing.

Instead of complicating this close_one_pack() logic to include
direct references to the multi-pack-index, simply add the packs
opened by the multi-pack-index to the packed_git list. This
immediately solves the file-descriptor limit problem, but requires
some extra steps to avoid performance issues or other problems:

1. Create a multi_pack_index bit in the packed_git struct that is
   one if and only if the pack was loaded from a multi-pack-index.

2. Skip packs with the multi_pack_index bit when doing object
   lookups and abbreviations. These algorithms already check the
   multi-pack-index before the packed_git struct. This has a very
   small performance hit, as we need to walk more packed_git
   structs. This is acceptable, since these operations run binary
   search on the other packs, so this walk-and-ignore logic is
   very fast by comparison.

3. When closing a multi-pack-index file, do not close its packs,
   as those packs will be closed using close_all_packs(). In some
   cases, such as 'git repack', we run 'close_midx()' without also
   closing the packs, so we need to un-set the multi_pack_index bit
   in those packs. This is necessary, and caught by running
   t6501-freshen-objects.sh with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1.

To manually test this change, I inserted trace2 logging into
close_pack_fd() and set pack_max_fds to 10, then ran 'git rev-list
--all --objects' on a copy of the Git repo with 300+ pack-files and
a multi-pack-index. The logs verified the packs are closed as
we read them beyond the file descriptor limit.
