Here is a reroll of my series which fixes a serious problem with MIDX bitmaps by
which they can become corrupt when permuting their pack order.

This seems to depend on tb/cruft-packs that is not yet in 'next', so
I'll redo this topic branch by forking it at 'master', merging the
other topic in, and then queuing these 8 patches.

Hmm. They shouldn't depend on that topic. My local copy depends on
abe6bb3905 (The first batch to start the current cycle, 2021-11-29), but
I'm happy to rebase things if basing on abe6bb3905 was a mistake.

Not so fast.  Let me double check.  My attempt to apply on the tip
of 'master' (as of yesterday) did not work and because the only
topic in 'seen' that touched midx.c was that other topic, I tried to
merge it with 'master' before applying the patches on top and it
worked.  If the other topic has no relation to this topic, it would
work as well (but then it does not explain why patches from the list
did not apply for me).
