When running 'git verify-pack -v' on multiple packs (.idx files), it
fails for all packs, except the first, with exit code 128, and the
following single line:

	fatal: internal error: pack revindex fubar

This does not happen when given only a single pack, or when given
multiple packs, but without '-v' option.

To reproduce, simply do:

	git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/*.idx

in any repo with more than one pack file.

This happens with a fairly current 'next' (1.6.0.96.g2fad1). AFAICS,
it also happens in v1.6.0.

    call init_pack_revindex() lazily

    This makes life much easier for next patch, as well as being more efficient
    when the revindex is actually not used.
