RFC: packs and long blobs

[Robert Collins]

So currently pack containers are length-prefixed. 

I'd like to add a method to put very large blobs into packs, so that I
can put indices onto the end of pack containers - and indices may be
hundreds of MB in size.

I'm thinking of requiring a file object that supports seek(0, 2); len =
tell() in this method. Any objections/better ideas?
