repack: consider bitmaps when performing repacks

Since `pack-objects` will write a `.bitmap` file next to the `.pack` and
`.idx` files, this commit teaches `git-repack` to consider the new
bitmap indexes (if they exist) when performing repack operations.

This implies moving old bitmap indexes out of the way if we are
repacking a repository that already has them, and moving the newly
generated bitmap indexes into the `objects/pack` directory, next to
their corresponding packfiles.

Since `git repack` is now capable of handling these `.bitmap` files,
a normal `git gc` run on a repository that has `pack.writebitmaps` set
to true in its config file will generate bitmap indexes as part of the
garbage collection process.

Alternatively, `git repack` can be called with the `-b` switch to
explicitly generate bitmap indexes if you are experimenting
and don't want them on all the time.
