chunk-format: add technical docs

The chunk-based file format is now an API in the code, but we should
also take time to document it as a file format. Specifically, it matches
the CHUNK LOOKUP sections of the commit-graph and multi-pack-index
files, but there are some commonalities that should be grouped in this
document.
