I've had this sitting in my patch queue for a while now. It's a
non-critical performance fix that avoids the repack/MIDX machinery from
ever choosing a cruft pack as preferred when writing a MIDX bitmap
without a given --preferred-pack.

There is no correctness issue here, but choosing a pack with few/no
reachable objects means that our pack reuse mechanism will rarely kick
in, resulting in performance degradation.

Oops, I should have mentioned that this is meant to be applied on top of
'tb/multi-cruft-pack' to reduce the conflict resolution burden. Sorry
about that.

Thanks,
