[PATCH 4/5] midx-write.c: extract inner loop from fill_packs_from_midx()

The function fill_packs_from_midx() does relatively little, but ends up in a doubly-nested loop because we're enumerating each pack within each layer of the incremental MIDX chain.

Let's de-dent the inner loop of fill_packs_from_midx() by extracting its contents into a separate function, and calling that.
