http-fetch: correct --index-pack-arg documentation
The --packfile mode accepts one --index-pack-arg=<arg> option per argument passed to index-pack, but its documentation and option dependency errors still refer to the plural --index-pack-args form. Correct the spelling and describe the repeatable per-argument form. Signed-off-by: Ted Nyman <tnyman@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
