pack-write.c: extract 'write_rev_file_order'

Existing callers provide the reverse index code with an array of 'struct
pack_idx_entry *'s, which is then sorted by pack order (comparing the
offsets of each object within the pack).

Prepare for the multi-pack index to write a .rev file by providing a way
to write the reverse index without an array of pack_idx_entry (which the
MIDX code does not have).

Instead, callers can invoke 'write_rev_index_positions()', which takes
an array of uint32_t's. The ith entry in this array specifies the ith
object's (in index order) position within the pack (in pack order).

Expose this new function for use in a later patch, and rewrite the
existing write_rev_file() in terms of this new function.
