In pack v4 the object size and type is encoded differently from pack v3.
The object size uses the same efficient variable length number encoding
already used elsewhere.
The object type has 4 bits allocated to it compared to 3 bits in pack v3.
This should be quite sufficient for the foreseeable future, especially
since pack v4 has only one type of delta object instead of two.
