repack: fix generating multi-pack-index with only non-local packs

When writing the multi-pack-index with geometric repacking we will add all packfiles to the index that are part of the geometric sequence. This can potentially also include packfiles borrowed from an alternate object directory. But given that a multi-pack-index can only ever include packs that are part of the main object database this does not make much sense whatsoever. In the edge case where all packfiles are contained in the alternate object database and the local repository has none itself this bug can cause us to invoke git-multi-pack-index(1) with only non-local packfiles that it ultimately cannot find. This causes it to return an error and thus causes the geometric repack to fail. Fix the code to skip non-local packfiles.
