e0d1bcf825 (multi-pack-index: add format details, 2018-07-12) describes
the MIDX's "PNAM" chunk as having entries which are "null-terminated
strings".
This is a typo, as strings are terminated with a NUL character, which is
a distinct concept from "NULL" or "null", which we typically reserve for
the void pointer to address 0.
Correct the documentation accordingly.

Packfiles must be listed in lexicographic order for fast lookups by

bytes in length, so should be the last chunk for alignment reasons.
