This reverts commit 394737eb42.
Saving a few bytes per every 64kB of delta copied is not worth,
when compared with the cost of backward compatibility worries.
This introduces a new configuration item, pack.deltaversion, to
control whether pack-objects is allowed to use version 3 delta.
By default, we keep generating version 2 delta (and version 2
packfile format) to be compatible with git earlier than v1.2.0.
This configuration affects the command in the following ways:
- the resulting packfile will have the specified version;
- when generating delta, larger copies are allowed only when
deltaversion is 3;
- the logic to reuse delta from existing packs refuses to reuse
delta from packs that uses delta version 3 when the
configuration is set to 2.

Avoid creating a delta index for objects with maximum depth since they
are not going to be used as delta base anyway. This also reduce peak
memory usage slightly as the current object's delta index is not useful
until the next object in the loop is considered for deltification. This
saves a bit more than 1% on CPU usage.

This patch splits the diff-delta interface into index creation and delta
generation. A wrapper is provided to preserve the diff-delta() call.
This will allow for an optimization in pack-objects.c where the source
object could be fixed and a full window of objects tentatively tried
against
that same source object without recomputing the source index each time.
This patch only restructure things, plus a couple cleanups for good
measure. There is no performance change yet.

My kernel work habit made me look at the generated assembly for the
delta code, and one obvious albeit small improvement is this patch.

This is a wrap-up patch including all the cleanups I've done to the
delta code and its usage. The most important change is the
factorization of the delta header handling code.

Packed delta files created by git-pack-objects seems to be the
way to go, and existing "delta" object handling code has exposed
the object representation details to too many places. Remove it
while we refactor code to come up with a proper interface in
sha1_file.c.

Anything that generates a delta to see if two objects are close usually
isn't interested in the delta ends up being bigger than some specified
size, and this allows us to stop delta generation early when that
happens.
This adds knowledge of delta objects to fsck-cache and various object
parsing code. A new switch to git-fsck-cache is provided to display the
maximum delta depth found in a repository.

This patch adds the basic library functions to create and replay delta
information. Also included is a test-delta utility to validate the
code.
