[PATCH 3/5] pack-write: pass hash_algo to `write_idx_file()`

From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com>

The `write_idx_file()` function uses the global `the_hash_algo` variable to access the repository's hash function. To avoid global variable usage, pass the hash function from the layers above.

Altough the layers above could have access to the hash function internally, simply pass in `the_hash_algo`. This avoids any compatibility issues and bubbles up global variable usage to upper layers which can be eventually resolved.
