pack-objects: use bitfield for object_entry::depth
Because of struct packing from now on we can only handle max depth 4095 (or even lower when new booleans are added in this struct). This should be ok since long delta chain will cause significant slow down anyway. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
