docs: move pack format docs to man section 5

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.

strip that off so we can start playing with the zlib data directly. You
can either work your way through it manually (the format is described in
link:../technical/pack-format.html[Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt]),
linkgit:gitformat-pack[5]),
or you can walk through it in a debugger. I did the latter, creating a
valid pack like:
