gvfs-helper: ignore .idx files in prefetch multi-part responses

The GVFS cache server can return multiple pairs of (.pack, .idx)
files.  If both are provided, `gvfs-helper` assumes that they are
valid without any validation.  This might cause problems if the
.pack file is corrupt inside the data stream.  (This might happen
if the cache server sends extra unexpected STDERR data or if the
.pack file is corrupt on the cache server's disk.)

All of the .pack file verification logic is already contained
within `git index-pack`, so let's ignore the .idx from the data
stream and force compute it.

This defeats the purpose of some of the data cacheing on the cache
server, but safety is more important.
