The repack builtin deletes redundant pack-files and their
associated .idx, .promisor, .bitmap, and .keep files. We will want
to re-use this logic in the future for other types of repack, so
pull the logic into 'unlink_pack_path()' in packfile.c.

The 'ignore_keep' parameter is enabled for the use in repack, but
will be important for a future caller.

We will add new subcommands to the multi-pack-index, and that will
make the documentation a bit messier. Clean up the 'verb'
descriptions by renaming the concept to 'subcommand' and removing
the reference to the object directory.

The multi-pack-index tracks objects in a collection of pack-files.
Only one copy of each object is indexed, using the modified time
of the pack-files to determine tie-breakers. It is possible to
have a pack-file with no referenced objects because all objects
have a duplicate in a newer pack-file.

Introduce a new 'expire' subcommand to the multi-pack-index builtin.
This subcommand will delete these unused pack-files and rewrite the
multi-pack-index to no longer refer to those files. More details
about the specifics will follow as the method is implemented.

Add a test that verifies the 'expire' subcommand is correctly wired,
but will still be valid when the verb is implemented. Specifically,
create a set of packs that should all have referenced objects and
should not be removed during an 'expire' operation. The packs are
created carefully to ensure they have a specific order when sorted
by size. This will be important in a later test.

Before writing the multi-pack-index, we compute the length of the
pack-index names concatenated together. This forms the data in the
pack name chunk, and we precompute it to compute chunk offsets.
The value is also modified to fit alignment needs.

Previously, this computation was coupled with adding packs from
the existing multi-pack-index and the remaining packs in the object
dir not already covered by the multi-pack-index.

In anticipation of this becoming more complicated with the 'expire'
subcommand, simplify the computation by centralizing it to a single
loop before writing the file.

In anticipation of the expire subcommand, refactor the way we sort
the packfiles by name. This will greatly simplify our approach to
dropping expired packs from the list.

First, create 'struct pack_info' to replace 'struct pack_pair'.
This struct contains the necessary information about a pack,
including its name, a pointer to its packfile struct (if not
already in the multi-pack-index), and the original pack-int-id.

Second, track the pack information using an array of pack_info
structs in the pack_list struct. This simplifies the logic around
the multiple arrays we were tracking in that struct.

Finally, update get_sorted_entries() to not permute the pack-int-id
and instead supply the permutation to write_midx_object_offsets().
This requires sorting the packs after get_sorted_entries().

The 'git multi-pack-index expire' subcommand looks at the existing
mult-pack-index, counts the number of objects referenced in each
pack-file, deletes the pack-fils with no referenced objects, and
rewrites the multi-pack-index to no longer reference those packs.

Refactor the write_midx_file() method to call write_midx_internal()
which now takes an existing 'struct multi_pack_index' and a list
of pack-files to drop (as specified by the names of their pack-
indexes). As we write the new multi-pack-index, we drop those
file names from the list of known pack-files.

The expire_midx_packs() method removes the unreferenced pack-files
after carefully closing the packs to avoid open handles.

Test that a new pack-file that covers the contents of two other
pack-files leads to those pack-files being deleted during the
expire subcommand. Be sure to read the multi-pack-index to ensure
it no longer references those packs.

In an environment where the multi-pack-index is useful, it is due
to many pack-files and an inability to repack the object store
into a single pack-file. However, it is likely that many of these
pack-files are rather small, and could be repacked into a slightly
larger pack-file without too much effort. It may also be important
to ensure the object store is highly available and the repack
operation does not interrupt concurrent git commands.

Introduce a 'repack' subcommand to 'git multi-pack-index' that
takes a '--batch-size' option. The subcommand will inspect the
multi-pack-index for referenced pack-files whose size is smaller
than the batch size, until collecting a list of pack-files whose
sizes sum to larger than the batch size. Then, a new pack-file
will be created containing the objects from those pack-files that
are referenced by the multi-pack-index. The resulting pack is
likely to actually be smaller than the batch size due to
compression and the fact that there may be objects in the pack-
files that have duplicate copies in other pack-files.

The current change introduces the command-line arguments, and we
add a test that ensures we parse these options properly. Since
we specify a small batch size, we will guarantee that future
implementations do not change the list of pack-files.

In addition, we hard-code the modified times of the packs in
the pack directory to ensure the list of packs sorted by modified
time matches the order if sorted by size (ascending). This will
be important in a future test.

To repack with a non-zero batch-size, first sort all pack-files by
their modified time. Second, walk those pack-files from oldest
to newest, compute their expected size, and add the packs to a list
if they are smaller than the given batch-size. Stop when the total
expected size is at least the batch size.

If the batch size is zero, select all packs in the multi-pack-index.

Finally, collect the objects from the multi-pack-index that are in
the selected packs and send them to 'git pack-objects'. Write a new
multi-pack-index that includes the new pack.

Using a batch size of zero is very similar to a standard 'git repack'
command, except that we do not delete the old packs and instead rely
on the new multi-pack-index to prevent new processes from reading the
old packs. This does not disrupt other Git processes that are currently
reading the old packs based on the old multi-pack-index.

While first designing a 'git multi-pack-index repack' operation, I
started by collecting the batches based on the actual size of the
objects instead of the size of the pack-files. This allows repacking
a large pack-file that has very few referencd objects. However, this
came at a significant cost of parsing pack-files instead of simply
reading the multi-pack-index and getting the file information for
the pack-files. The "expected size" version provides similar
behavior, but could skip a pack-file if the average object size is
much larger than the actual size of the referenced objects, or
can create a large pack if the actual size of the referenced objects
is larger than the expected size.

During development of the multi-pack-index expire subcommand, a
version went out that improperly computed the pack order if a new
pack was introduced while other packs were being removed. Part of
the subtlety of the bug involved the new pack being placed before
other packs that already existed in the multi-pack-index.

Add a test to t5319-multi-pack-index.sh that catches this issue.
The test adds new packs that cause another pack to be expired, and
creates new packs that are lexicographically sorted before and
after the existing packs.

The 'git multi-pack-index expire' subcommand may delete packs that
are not needed from the perspective of the multi-pack-index. If
a pack has a .keep file, then we should not delete that pack. Add
a test that ensures we preserve a pack that would otherwise be
expired. First, create a new pack that contains every object in
the repo, then add it to the multi-pack-index. Then create a .keep
file for a pack starting with "a-pack" that was added in the
previous test. Finally, expire and verify that the pack remains
and the other packs were expired.

The 'git multi-pack-index repack' command can take a batch size of
zero, which creates a new pack-file containing all objects in the
multi-pack-index. The first 'repack' command will create one new
pack-file, and an 'expire' command after that will delete the old
pack-files, as they no longer contain any referenced objects in the
multi-pack-index.

We must remove the .keep file that was added in the previous test
in order to expire that pack-file.

Also test that a 'repack' will do nothing if there is only one
pack-file.

Using 'ls -l' and parsing the columns to find file sizes is
problematic when the platform could report the owner as a name
with spaces. Instead, use the 'test-tool path-utils file-size'
command to list only the sizes.
