pack.indexversion config option now defaults to 2

As announced for 1.6.0.

Git older than version 1.5.2 (or any other git version with this option
set to 1) may revert to version 1 of the pack index by manually deleting
all .idx files and recreating them using 'git index-pack'.  Communication
over the git native protocol is unaffected since the pack index is never
transferred.

If you have an old git that does not understand the version 2 `{asterisk}.idx` file,
cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http" and "rsync")
that will copy both `{asterisk}.pack` file and corresponding `{asterisk}.idx` file from the
other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
older version of git. If the `{asterisk}.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
the `{asterisk}.idx` file.
