midx.c: extract struct midx_fanout

To build up a list of objects (along with their packs, and the offsets
within those packs that each object appears at), the MIDX code
implements `get_sorted_entries()` which builds up a list of candidates,
sorts them, and then removes duplicate entries.

To do this, it keeps an array of `pack_midx_entry` structures that it
builds up once for each fanout level (ie., for all possible values of
the first byte of each object's ID).

This array is a function-local variable of `get_sorted_entries()`. Since
it uses the ALLOC_GROW() macro, having the `alloc_fanout` variable also
be local to that function, and only modified within that function is
convenient.

However, subsequent changes will extract the two ways this array is
filled (from a pack at some fanout value, and from an existing MIDX at
some fanout value) into separate functions. Instead of passing around
pointers to the entries array, along with `nr_fanout` and
`alloc_fanout`, encapsulate these three into a structure instead. Then
pass around a pointer to this structure instead.

This patch does not yet extract the above two functions, but sets us up
to begin doing so in the following commit. For now, the implementation
of get_sorted_entries() is only modified to replace `entries_by_fanout`
with `fanout.entries`, `nr_fanout` with `fanout.nr`, and so on.
