doc: pack-refs: factor out common options

In preparation for adding documentation for `git refs optimize`, factor
out the common options from the `git-pack-refs` man page into a
shareable file `pack-refs-options.adoc` and update `git-pack-refs.adoc`
to use an `include::` macro.

This change is a pure refactoring and results in no change to the final
rendered documentation for `pack-refs`.

 OPTIONS
 -------
 
---all::
-
-The command by default packs all tags and refs that are already
-packed, and leaves other refs
-alone.  This is because branches are expected to be actively
-developed and packing their tips does not help performance.
-This option causes all refs to be packed as well, with the exception
-of hidden refs, broken refs, and symbolic refs. Useful for a repository
-with many branches of historical interests.
-
---no-prune::
-
-The command usually removes loose refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs`
-hierarchy after packing them.  This option tells it not to.
-
---auto::
-
-Pack refs as needed depending on the current state of the ref database. The
-behavior depends on the ref format used by the repository and may change in the
-future.
-+
-       - "files": Loose references are packed into the `packed-refs` file
-         based on the ratio of loose references to the size of the
-         `packed-refs` file. The bigger the `packed-refs` file, the more loose
-         references need to exist before we repack.
-+
-       - "reftable": Tables are compacted such that they form a geometric
-         sequence. For two tables N and N+1, where N+1 is newer, this
-         maintains the property that N is at least twice as big as N+1. Only
-         tables that violate this property are compacted.
-
---include <pattern>::
-
-Pack refs based on a `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option
-accumulate inclusion patterns. If a ref is both included in `--include` and
-`--exclude`, `--exclude` takes precedence. Using `--include` will preclude all
-tags from being included by default. Symbolic refs and broken refs will never
-be packed. When used with `--all`, it will be a noop. Use `--no-include` to clear
-and reset the list of patterns.
-
---exclude <pattern>::
-
-Do not pack refs matching the given `glob(7)` pattern. Repetitions of this option
-accumulate exclusion patterns. Use `--no-exclude` to clear and reset the list of
-patterns. If a ref is already packed, including it with `--exclude` will not
-unpack it.
-+
-When used with `--all`, pack only loose refs which do not match any of
-the provided `--exclude` patterns.
-+
-When used with `--include`, refs provided to `--include`, minus refs that are
-provided to `--exclude` will be packed.
