[JGIT PATCH 05/13] Make PackFile thread-safe

We really should try to avoid allocating the reverse index within the pack object itself, and instead make the applications that do use this data manage it themselves. This way the index could be released in memory when its no longer used, and the locking could be bypassed entirely.

Since most of PackFile is dependent upon the WindowedFile we can mostly ignore synchronization in this class.
