When asked to write a multi-pack-index the user can specify a preferred
pack that is used as a tie breaker when multiple packs contain the same
objects. When this packfile cannot be found, we just pick the first pack
that is getting tracked by the newly written multi-pack-index as a
fallback.
Picking the fallback can fail in the case where we're asked to write a
multi-pack-index with no packfiles at all: picking the fallback value
will cause a segfault as we blindly index into the array of packfiles,
which would be empty.
Fix this bug by resetting the preferred packfile index to `-1` before
searching for the preferred pack. This fixes the segfault as we already
check for whether the index is `> - 1`. If it is not, we simply don't
pick a preferred packfile at all.
