The multi-pack-index tracks objects in a collection of pack-files.
Only one copy of each object is indexed, using the modified time
of the pack-files to determine tie-breakers. It is possible to
have a pack-file with no referenced objects because all objects
have a duplicate in a newer pack-file.
Introduce a new 'expire' subcommand to the multi-pack-index builtin.
This subcommand will delete these unused pack-files and rewrite the
multi-pack-index to no longer refer to those files. More details
about the specifics will follow as the method is implemented.
Add a test that verifies the 'expire' subcommand is correctly wired,
but will still be valid when the verb is implemented. Specifically,
create a set of packs that should all have referenced objects and
should not be removed during an 'expire' operation. The packs are
created carefully to ensure they have a specific order when sorted
by size. This will be important in a later test.
