[PATCHv3 3/9] pack-objects: Allow --max-pack-size to be used together with --stdout

Currently we refuse combining --max-pack-size with --stdout since there's no way to make multiple packs when the pack is written to stdout. However, we want to be able to limit the maximum size of the pack created by --stdout (and abort pack-objects if we are unable to meet that limit).

Therefore, when used together with --stdout, we reinterpret --max-pack-size to indicate the maximum pack size which - if exceeded - will cause pack-objects to abort with an error message.
