midx: expose write_midx_file_only() publicly

Expose a variant of the write_midx_file() function which ignores packs
that aren't included in an explicit "allow" list.

This will be used in an upcoming patch to power a new `--stdin-packs`
mode of `git multi-pack-index write` for callers that only want to
include certain packs in a MIDX (and ignore any packs which may have
happened to enter the repository independently, e.g., from pushes).

Those patches will provide test coverage for this new function.
