repack: respect --keep-pack with geometric repack

Update 'repack' to ignore packs named on the command line with the
'--keep-pack' option. Specifically, modify 'init_pack_geometry()' to treat
command line-kept packs the same way it treats packs with an on-disk '.keep'
file (that is, skip the pack and do not include it in the 'geometry'
structure).

Without this handling, a '--keep-pack' pack would be included in the
'geometry' structure. If the pack is *before* the geometry split line (with
at least one other pack and/or loose objects present), 'repack' assumes the
pack's contents are "rolled up" into another pack via 'pack-objects'.
However, because the internally-invoked 'pack-objects' properly excludes
'--keep-pack' objects, any new pack it creates will not contain the kept
objects. Finally, 'repack' deletes the '--keep-pack' as "redundant" (since
it assumes 'pack-objects' created a new pack with its contents), resulting
in possible object loss and repository corruption.

Add a test ensuring that '--keep-pack' packs are now appropriately handled.
