The parser is not complete and it probably has several bugs, but it works in general.

This adds a parser for Git pack files (the files under
.git/objects/pack/pack-*.pack). The format is documented at https://git-scm.com/docs/gitformat-pack .This parser is not complete and it probably has several bugs; but it worked for my use case, so I wanted to make it publicly available.
The commit message for the test file documents how the file was created.
