fast-import: make default pack size unlimited
Now that fast-import is creating packs with index version 2, there is
no point limiting the pack size by default. A pack split will still
happen if off_t is not sufficiently large to hold large offsets.
While updating the doc, let's remove the "packfiles fit on CDs"
suggestion. Pack files created by fast-import are still suboptimal and
a 'git repack -a -f -d' or even 'git gc --aggressive' would be a pretty
good idea before considering storage on CDs.
