[PATCH 07/12] packfile, git-zlib: widen `use_pack()` and zstream avail fields to `size_t`

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Bundling the two widenings: four call sites pass `&stream.avail_in`
directly to `use_pack()`, and widening either type fencepost alone would
force a bridge variable at each. Doing both together is the simpler end
state and is the prerequisite for the `do_compress()` widening in the
next commit, which is what lets `write_no_reuse_object()` lose its last
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shim.

The unsigned-long locals widened at the other `use_pack()` callers
(avail / remaining / left) hold pack-window sizes bounded by
`core.packedGitWindowSize`, so the change is type consistency rather
than a new >4GB capability. `git_zstream.avail_in`/`avail_out` likewise
reach zlib's `uInt` fields only after `zlib_buf_cap()`'s 1 GiB cap, so
the wrapper already accepted `size_t`-shaped inputs in practice.
