pack-revindex: use unsigned to store number of objects

A packfile may have up to 2^32-1 objects in it, so the
"right" data type to use is uint32_t. We currently use a
signed int, which means that we may behave incorrectly for
packfiles with more than 2^31-1 objects on 32-bit systems.

Nobody has noticed because having 2^31 objects is pretty
insane. The linux.git repo has on the order of 2^22 objects,
which is hundreds of times smaller than necessary to trigger
the bug.

Let's bump this up to an "unsigned". On 32-bit systems, this
gives us the correct data-type, and on 64-bit systems, it is
probably more efficient to use the native "unsigned" than a
true uint32_t.

While we're at it, we can fix the binary search not to
overflow in such a case if our unsigned is 32 bits.
