5f0879f54b chunk-format: create read chunk API
Add the capability to read the table of contents, then pair the chunks
with necessary logic using read_chunk_fn pointers. Callers will be added
in future changes, but the typical outline will be:

 1. initialize a 'struct chunkfile' with init_chunkfile(NULL).
 2. call read_table_of_contents().
 3. for each chunk to parse,
    a. call pair_chunk() to assign a pointer with the chunk position, or
    b. call read_chunk() to run a callback on the chunk start and size.
 4. call free_chunkfile() to clear the 'struct chunkfile' data.

We are re-using the anonymous 'struct chunkfile' data, as it is internal
to the chunk-format API. This gives it essentially two modes: write and
read. If the same struct instance was used for both reads and writes,
then there would be failures.

570df42610 chunk-format: create chunk format write API
In anticipation of combining the logic from the commit-graph and
multi-pack-index file formats, create a new chunk-format API. Use a
'struct chunkfile' pointer to keep track of data that has been
registered for writes. This struct is anonymous outside of
chunk-format.c to ensure no user attempts to interfere with the data.

The next change will use this API in commit-graph.c, but the general
approach is:

 1. initialize the chunkfile with init_chunkfile(f).
 2. add chunks in the intended writing order with add_chunk().
 3. write any header information to the hashfile f.
 4. write the chunkfile data using write_chunkfile().
 5. free the chunkfile struct using free_chunkfile().
