config: create core.multiPackIndex setting
The core.multiPackIndex config setting controls the multi-pack-
index (MIDX) feature. If false, the setting will disable all reads
from the multi-pack-index file.
Read this config setting in the new prepare_multi_pack_index_one()
which is called during prepare_packed_git(). This check is run once
per repository.
Add comparison commands in t5319-multi-pack-index.sh to check
typical Git behavior remains the same as the config setting is turned
on and off. This currently includes 'git rev-list' and 'git log'
commands to trigger several object database reads. Currently, these
would only catch an error in the prepare_multi_pack_index_one(), but
with later commits will catch errors in object lookups, abbreviations,
and approximate object counts.
