[PATCH v3 3/4] Add a function to release all packs

On Windows, files that are in use cannot be removed or renamed. That means that we have to release pack files when we are about to, say, repack them. Let's introduce a convenient function to close them pack files.

While at it, we consolidate the close windows/close fd/close index stanza in `free_pack_by_name()` into the `close_pack()` function that is used by the new `close_all_packs()` function to avoid repeated code.
