Documentation/technical: describe multi-pack reverse indexes

As a prerequisite to implementing multi-pack bitmaps, motivate and
describe the format and ordering of the multi-pack reverse index.

The subsequent patch will implement reading this format, and the patch
after that will implement writing it while producing a multi-pack index.
