Implement reading for multi-pack reverse indexes, as described in the previous patch. Note that these functions don't yet have any callers, and won't until multi-pack reachability bitmaps are introduced in a later patch series. In the meantime, this patch implements some of the infrastructure necessary to support multi-pack bitmaps. There are three new functions exposed by the revindex API: - load_midx_revindex(): loads the reverse index corresponding to the given multi-pack index. - midx_to_pack_pos() and pack_pos_to_midx(): these convert between the multi-pack index and pseudo-pack order. load_midx_revindex() and pack_pos_to_midx() are both relatively straightforward. load_midx_revindex() needs a few functions to be exposed from the midx API. One to get the checksum of a midx, and another to get the .rev's filename. Similar to recent changes in the packed_git struct, three new fields are added to the multi_pack_index struct: one to keep track of the size, one to keep track of the mmap'd pointer, and another to point past the header and at the reverse index's data. pack_pos_to_midx() simply reads the corresponding entry out of the table. midx_to_pack_pos() is the trickiest, since it needs to find an object's position in the psuedo-pack order, but that order can only be recovered in the .rev file itself. This mapping can be implemented with a binary search, but note that the thing we're binary searching over isn't an array of values, but rather a permuted order of those values. So, when comparing two items, it's helpful to keep in mind the difference. Instead of a traditional binary search, where you are comparing two things directly, here we're comparing a (pack, offset) tuple with an index into the multi-pack index. That index describes another (pack, offset) tuple, and it is _those_ two tuples that are compared.
