midx-write: include packs above custom incremental base

The previous commit made '--base' take effect on the normal incremental
write path, which exposed an existing assumption in our helper function
`should_include_pack()`, which is that any pack already present in
`ctx->m` was skipped.

That is only correct for non-incremental writes. For incremental writes,
`ctx->base_midx` is the boundary that should be excluded from the new
layer. If the caller selects an older base, or no base at all, then
packs from layers above that base have to be included in the detached
layer so that its bitmap has reachability closure.

Teach `should_include_pack()` to choose the MIDX used for pack exclusion
based on whether or not we are performing an incremental write. When
doing so, use `ctx->base_midx`, and use `ctx->m` otherwise.

The t5334 cases from the previous commit can now be marked as
successful.
