Subject: index-pack: complain when --stdin is used outside of a repo

The index-pack builtin is marked as RUN_SETUP_GENTLY,
because it's perfectly fine to index a pack in the
filesystem outside of any repository. However, --stdin mode
will write the result to the object database, which does not
make sense outside of a repository. Doing so creates a bogus
".git" directory with nothing in it except the newly-created
pack and its index.

Instead, let's flag this as an error and abort.
