[PATCH 09/15] pack-objects: shrink z_delta_size field in struct object_entry

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

We only cache deltas when it's smaller than a certain limit. This limit
defaults to 1000 but save its compressed length in a 64-bit field.
Shrink that field down to 20 bits, so you can only cache 1MB deltas.
Larger deltas must be recomputed at when the pack is written down.
