docs: move pack format docs to man section 5

Browse Source 
Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving
the various documentation pertaining to the *.pack format and related
files, and updating things that refer to it to link to the new
location.

By moving these we can properly link from the newly created
gitformat-commit-graph to a gitformat-chunk-format page.

Integrating "Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt" and
"Documentation/technical/cruft-packs.txt" might logically be part of
this change, but as those cover parts of the wider "pack
format" (including associated files) that's documented outside of
"Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt" let's leave those for now,
subsequent commit(s) will address those.
