This changes the generation of hash packfiles have in their names, from "hash of object names as fed to us" to "hash of object names in the resulting pack, in the order they appear in the index file". The new "git-index-pack" command is taught to output the computed hash value to its standard output.

With this, we can store downloaded pack in a temporary file without knowing its final name, run git-index-pack to generate idx for it while finding out its final name, and then rename the pack and idx to their final names.

 * Right now, the pack "hash" name only serves the collision
   avoidance purposes, but not true identification.  The same
   set of objects can be fed to pack-objects in different order,
   produce the same pack, and still end up with different
   names.
   This will be used in the next experiment, "git-clone not
   exploding the downloaded pack".
