pack-format: correct multi-pack-index description
The description of the multi-pack-index contains a small bug,
if all offsets are < 2^32 then there will be no LOFF chunk,
not only if they're all < 2^31 (since the highest bit is only
needed as the "LOFF-escape" when that's actually needed.)
Correct this, and clarify that in that case only offsets up
to 2^31-1 can be stored in the OOFF chunk.
