Documentation/git-multi-pack-index.txt: clarify expire behavior
The `expire` sub-command of `git multi-pack-index` will never expire `.keep` packs, regardless of whether or not any of their objects were selected in the MIDX. This has always been the case since 19575c7c8e (multi-pack-index: implement 'expire' subcommand, 2019-06-10), which came after cff9711616 (multi-pack-index: prepare for 'expire' subcommand, 2019-06-10), when this documentation was originally written.
