This patch series started with patch 12: I just wanted to drop the
unused "force" parameter from update_info_refs().

But that made me look at its sibling update_info_packs(), and whether it
needs its force parameter. It _does_ in fact do something (though I am
slightly doubtful that anybody actually cares in practice).

However, I did see a memory bug in its parser, which is fixed by patch
6. And a bunch of other cleanups, which are patches 7-11. Fortunately
that buggy parser is not used to look at info/packs files we pull over
dumb-http; it has its own parser. So I looked at that, and of course it
had a bug, too (fixed in patch 5).

And in those cleanups, I needed to get the basename of a pack from its
packed_git. So I looked for other code that did the same, in case we
could benefit from a shared helper. And behold, the midx code does. But
you guessed it, there was a bug (actually 2). Fixed in patches 4 (with
necessary refactoring in patch 3).

And while constructing a test for that bug, I noticed that one of the
other tests in t5319 was buggy. So that's patch 1 (with some cleanup in
patch 2).

And here we are. I present them here in reverse rabbit-hole order (which
is also roughly important fixes first, and minor cleanups last). The
individual chunks are mostly independent, but the server-info cleanups
rely on the shared pack_basename() helper added as part of the midx fix.
