Introduce a new manual page, gitpacking(7) to collect useful information about advanced packing concepts in Git. In future commits in this series, this manual page will expand to describe the new pseudo-merge bitmaps feature, as well as include examples, relevant configuration bits, use-cases, and so on. Outside of this series, this manual page may absorb similar pieces from other parts of Git's documentation about packing.
