multi-pack-index: add 'write' verb
In anticipation of writing multi-pack-indexes, add a skeleton 'git multi-pack-index write' subcommand and send the options to a write_midx_file() method. Also create a skeleton test script that tests the 'write' subcommand. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
