housekeeping: Enable writing MIDX by default

Patrick Steinhardt requested to merge pks-housekeeping-enable-writing-midx into master

We have recently introduced the logic to write multi-pack indices during repository maintenance. This new data structure allows Git to look up objects more efficiently when there are many packfiles in a repository by providing an index that spans across all the packfiles.

The code has been rolled out to production systems without any observed issues. As this is a significant new data structure though we're playing it safe and release the feature with its flag default enabled.

Changelog: changed

Part of #4741 (closed).
