When running maintenance tasks via git-maintenance(1) we have a couple of auto-conditions that check whether or not a specific task should be running. One such check is for incremental repacks, which essentially use `git multi-pack-index repack` to repack a set of smaller packfiles into one larger packfile.

The auto-condition for this task checks how many packfiles there are that aren't indexed by any multi-pack index. If there is a sufficient number then we execute the above command to combine those into a single pack and add them to the MIDX.

As we don't care about MIDX'd packs we use `packfile_store_get_packs()`, which knows to not load any packs that are indexed by a MIDX. But as explained in the preceding commit, we want to get rid of that function.

We already handle packfiles that have an MIDX alright by the very nature of this function, as we explicitly count non-MIDX'd packs. As such, we can trivially switch over to use `packfile_store_get_all_packs()` instead.

Do so.
