[PATCH v2 2/3] builtin/repack.c: parse `--max-pack-size` with OPT_MAGNITUDE

The repack builtin takes a `--max-pack-size` command-line argument which it uses to feed into any of the pack-objects children that it may spawn when generating a new pack.

This option is parsed with OPT_STRING, meaning that we'll accept anything as input, punting on more fine-grained validation until we get down into pack-objects.

This is fine, but it's wasteful to spend an entire sub-process just to figure out that one of its option is bogus. Instead, parse the value of `--max-pack-size` with OPT_MAGNITUDE in 'git repack', and then pass the knonw-good result down to pack-objects.
