Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 977c47b46d docs: move pack format docs to man section 5
Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving
the various documentation pertaining to the *.pack format and related
files, and updating things that refer to it to link to the new
location.

By moving these we can properly link from the newly created
gitformat-commit-graph to a gitformat-chunk-format page.

Integrating "Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt" and
"Documentation/technical/cruft-packs.txt" might logically be part of
this change, but as those cover parts of the wider "pack
format" (including associated files) that's documented outside of
"Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt" let's leave those for now,
subsequent commit(s) will address those.

/**
* A revindex allows converting efficiently between three properties
* of an object within a pack:
*
* - index position: the numeric position within the list of sorted object ids
* found in the .idx file
*
* - pack position: the numeric position within the list of objects in their
* order within the actual .pack file (i.e., 0 is the first object in the
* .pack, 1 is the second, and so on)
*
* - offset: the byte offset within the .pack file at which the object contents
* can be found
*
* The revindex can also be used with a multi-pack index (MIDX). In this
* setting:
*
* - index position refers to an object's numeric position within the MIDX
*
* - pack position refers to an object's position within a non-existent pack
* described by the MIDX. The pack structure is described in
* gitformat-pack(5).
*
* It is effectively a concatanation of all packs in the MIDX (ordered by
* their numeric ID within the MIDX) in their original order within each
* pack), removing duplicates, and placing the preferred pack (if any)
* first.
