Merge branch 'jt/repack-promisor-packs'

After a partial clone, repeated fetches from promisor remote would
have accumulated many packfiles marked with .promisor bit without
getting them coalesced into fewer packfiles, hurting performance.
"git repack" now learned to repack them.

* jt/repack-promisor-packs:
  repack: repack promisor objects if -a or -A is set
  repack: refactor setup of pack-objects cmd

+Promisor packfiles are repacked separately: if there are packfiles that

+into another separate pack, and an empty ".promisor" file corresponding
