[PATCH 1/2] command-list: add gitformat-loose(5) and gitpacking(7)

Three manpages from sections 5 and 7 are not featured in command-list.txt as concept guides or interface manuals.

As easy fixes, add gitformat-loose(5) to 'developerinterfaces' and make gitpacking(7) a 'guide'.

That leaves only gitweb.conf(5) which could be added to 'userinterfaces'. However, the manual would then appear as "web.conf" in `git help -a` which is just confusing. So, perhaps we are better off by leaving it out.
