Unify write_index_file functions

This patch unifies the write_index_file functions in
builtin-pack-objects.c and index-pack.c.  As the name
"index" is overloaded in git, move in the direction of
using "idx" and "pack idx" when refering to the pack index.
There should be no change in functionality.
