dynamic packfiles to append objects

gc/refcount process punches page-sized holes in them for pages fully
within the space of unwanted objects, after setting a tombstone mark

holes are recorded in an index and re-used

then, if desired, the repack process removes all the punched holes
and anything surrounding from unwanted objects that are slightly out
of the page boundary

.idx is not a bsearch because that would cause me to need to rewrite
the entire pack every time i add objects; instead use an extendible
hash table.
