[RFC PATCH 1/4] builtin/repack.c: pass "out" to `prepare_pack_objects`

`builtin/repack.c`'s `prepare_pack_objects()` is used to prepare a set of arguments to a `pack-objects` process which will generate a desired pack.

A future patch will add an `--expire-to` option which allows `git repack` to write a cruft pack containing the pruned objects out to a separate repository. Prepare for this by teaching that function to write packs to an arbitrary location specified by the caller.

All existing callers of `prepare_pack_objects()` will pass `packtmp` for `out`, retaining the existing behavior.
