Update the technical documentation to describe the multi-pack bitmap
format. This patch merely introduces the new format, and describes its
high-level ideas. Git does not yet know how to read nor write these
multi-pack variants, and so the subsequent patches will:
- Introduce code to interpret multi-pack bitmaps, according to this
document.
- Then, introduce code to write multi-pack bitmaps from the 'git
multi-pack-index write' sub-command.
Finally, the implementation will gain tests in subsequent patches (as
opposed to inline with the patch teaching Git how to write multi-pack
bitmaps) to avoid a cyclic dependency.
