[PATCH v2 7/7] midx: remove now-unused linked list of multi-pack indices

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jul 15, 2025, 11:29 UTC
Message-ID
<20250715-b4-pks-midx-via-odb-alternate-v2-7-b0ca0b4b516e@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20250715-b4-pks-midx-via-odb-alternate-v2-0-b0ca0b4b516e@pks.im>

In the preceding commits we have migrated all users of the linked list of multi-pack indices to instead use those stored in the object database sources. Remove those now-unused pointers.
