Follow-up a preceding commit (pack-write.c: rename `.idx` file into
place last, 2021-08-16)[1] and rename the *.idx file in-place after we
write the *.bitmap. The preceding commit fixed the issue of *.idx
being written before *.rev files, but did not do so for *.idx files.
See 7cc8f971085 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing, 2013-12-21)
for commentary at the time when *.bitmap was implemented about how
those files are written out, nothing in that commit contradicts what's
being done here.
While we're at it let's add cross-commentary to both builtin/repack.c
and builtin/pack-objects.c to point out the two places where we write
out these sets of files in sequence.
