Merge branch 'nd/pack-objects-pack-struct'

"git pack-objects" needs to allocate tons of "struct object_entry"
while doing its work, and shrinking its size helps the performance
quite a bit.

* nd/pack-objects-pack-struct:
  ci: exercise the whole test suite with uncommon code in pack-objects
  pack-objects: reorder members to shrink struct object_entry
  pack-objects: shrink delta_size field in struct object_entry
  pack-objects: shrink size field in struct object_entry
  pack-objects: clarify the use of object_entry::size
  pack-objects: don't check size when the object is bad
  pack-objects: shrink z_delta_size field in struct object_entry
  pack-objects: refer to delta objects by index instead of pointer
  pack-objects: move in_pack out of struct object_entry
  pack-objects: move in_pack_pos out of struct object_entry
  pack-objects: use bitfield for object_entry::depth
  pack-objects: use bitfield for object_entry::dfs_state
  pack-objects: turn type and in_pack_type to bitfields
  pack-objects: a bit of document about struct object_entry

+Running tests with special setups
+---------------------------------
+
+The whole test suite could be run to test some special features
+that cannot be easily covered by a few specific test cases. These
+could be enabled by running the test suite with correct GIT_TEST_
+environment set.
+
+GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=<boolean> forces split-index mode on the whole
+test suite. Accept any boolean values that are accepted by git-config.
+
+GIT_TEST_FULL_IN_PACK_ARRAY=<boolean> exercises the uncommon
+pack-objects code path where there are more than 1024 packs even if
+the actual number of packs in repository is below this limit. Accept
+any boolean values that are accepted by git-config.
+
+GIT_TEST_OE_SIZE=<n> exercises the uncommon pack-objects code path
+where we do not cache object size in memory and read it from existing
+packs on demand. This normally only happens when the object size is
+over 2GB. This variable forces the code path on any object larger than
+<n> bytes.
