OK, that makes sense. It does mean that we call the expensive-ish
open_pack_index() just to find out that it has 0 objects. But I guess if
we didn't reject it at this point, we'd soon open it anyway, so it's
probably not a big deal.

I wondered about this funky pack_int_id interface, rather than just
having the caller pass in the pack struct. But we need it because
one of the callers needs to load the pack struct by calling
prepare_midx_pack().

That should be a quick noop for the other caller, since the entry in
m->packs[] will already be filled in (and if it's not, then you've just
fixed a bug!).

So this all looks good to me.
