pack-objects: avoid delta chains that are too long.

This tries to rework the solution for the excess delta chain
problem. An earlier commit worked it around ``cheaply'', but
repeated repacking risks unbound growth of delta chains.

This version counts the length of delta chain we are reusing
from the existing pack, and makes sure a base object that has
sufficiently long delta chain does not get deltified.
