[PATCH v2 3/4] midx: avoid negative array index

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

nth_midxed_pack_int_id() returns the index of the pack file in the multi pack index's list of packfiles that the specified object. The index is returned as a uint32_t. Storing this in an int will make the index negative if the most significant bit is set. Fix this by using uint32_t as the rest of the code does. This is unlikely to be a practical problem as it requires the multipack index to reference 2^31 packfiles.
