As the multi-pack-index feature is being developed, we use a config
setting 'core.midx' to enable all use of MIDX files.
Since MIDX files are designed as a way to augment the existing data
stores in Git, turning this setting off will revert to previous
behavior without needing to downgrade. This can also be a repo-
specific setting if the MIDX is misbehaving in only one repo.
