pack-objects: allow `--filter` without `--stdout`
9535ce7337 (pack-objects: add list-objects filtering, 2017-11-21)
taught `git pack-objects` to use `--filter`, but required the use of
`--stdout` since a partial clone mechanism was not yet in place to
handle missing objects. Since then, changes like 9e27beaa23
(promisor-remote: implement promisor_remote_get_direct(), 2019-06-25)
and others added support to dynamically fetch objects that were missing.
Even without a promisor remote, filtering out objects can also be useful
if we can put the filtered out objects in a separate pack, and in this
case it also makes sense for pack-objects to write the packfile directly
to an actual file rather than on stdout.
Remove the `--stdout` requirement when using `--filter`, so that in a
follow-up commit, repack can pass `--filter` to pack-objects to omit
certain objects from the resulting packfile.
