Documentation/gitformat-pack.txt: fix typo
e0d1bcf825 (multi-pack-index: add format details, 2018-07-12) describes the MIDX's "PNAM" chunk as having entries which are "null-terminated strings". This is a typo, as strings are terminated with a NUL character, which is a distinct concept from "NULL" or "null", which we typically reserve for the void pointer to address 0. Correct the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Packfiles must be listed in lexicographic order for fast lookups by
name. This is the only chunk not guaranteed to be a multiple of four
bytes in length, so should be the last chunk for alignment reasons.
