builtin/index-pack: add option to specify hash algorithm
git index-pack is usually run in a repository, but need not be. Since
packs don't contains information on the algorithm in use, instead
relying on context, add an option to index-pack to tell it which one
we're using in case someone runs it outside of a repository. Since
using --stdin necessarily implies a repository, don't allow specifying
an object format if it's provided to prevent users from passing an
option that won't work. Add documentation for this option.
