builtin/repack.c: avoid directly inspecting "util"

The `->util` field corresponding to each string_list_item is used to
track the existence of some pack at the beginning of a repack operation
was originally intended to be used as a bitfield.

This bitfield tracked:

  - (1 << 0): whether or not the pack should be deleted
  - (1 << 1): whether or not the pack is cruft

The previous commit removed the use of the second bit, but a future
patch (from a different series than this one) will introduce a new use
of it.

So we could stop treating the util pointer as a bitfield and instead
start treating it as if it were a boolean. But this would require some
backtracking when that later patch is applied.

Instead, let's avoid touching the ->util field directly, and instead
introduce convenience functions like:

  - pack_mark_for_deletion()
  - pack_is_marked_for_deletion()
