builtin/multi-pack-index.c: support `--stdin-packs` mode
To power a new `--write-midx` mode, `git repack` will want to write a
multi-pack index containing a certain set of packs in the repository.
This new option will be used by `git repack` to write a MIDX which
contains only the packs which will survive after the repack (that is, it
will exclude any packs which are about to be deleted).
This patch effectively exposes the function implemented in the previous
commit via the `git multi-pack-index` builtin. An alternative approach
would have been to call that function from the `git repack` builtin
directly, but this introduces awkward problems around closing and
reopening the object store, so the MIDX will be written out-of-process.
