TO-DROP: t5309: create failing test for 'git index-pack'

TODO: drop this, it is a left-over from a patch that was upstreamed as
98f8854 (index-pack: allow revisiting REF_DELTA chains,
2025-04-28).

This new test demonstrates some behavior where a valid packfile is being
rejected by the Git client due to the order in which it is resolving
REF_DELTAs.

The thin packfile has a REF_DELTA chain A->B->C where C is not included
in the packfile. However, the client repository contains both C and B
already. Thus, 'git index-pack' is able to resolve A before resolving B.

When resolving B, it then attempts to resolve any other REF_DELTAs that
are pointing to B as a base. This "revisits" A and complains as if there
is a cycle, but it did not actually detect a cycle.

A fix will arrive in the next change.
