pack-bitmap: enable reuse from all bitmapped packs
Now that both the pack-bitmap and pack-objects code are prepared to handle marking and using objects from multiple bitmapped packs for verbatim reuse, allow marking objects from all bitmapped packs as eligible for reuse. Within the `reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()` function, we no longer only mark the pack whose first object is at bit position zero for reuse, and instead mark any pack contained in the MIDX as a reuse candidate. Provide a handful of test cases in a new script (t5332) exercising interesting behavior for multi-pack reuse to ensure that we performed all of the previous steps correctly.
