This is refactoring 1 of 2 to simplify struct base_data. In index-pack, each thread maintains a doubly-linked list of the delta chain that it is currently processing (the "base" and "child" pointers in struct base_data). When a thread exceeds the delta base cache limit and needs to reclaim memory, it uses the "child" pointers to traverse the lineage, reclaiming the memory of the eldest delta bases first. A subsequent patch will perform memory reclaiming in a different way and will thus no longer need the "child" pointer. Because the "child" pointer is redundant even now, remove it so that the aforementioned subsequent patch will be clearer. In the meantime, reclaim memory in the reverse order of the "base" pointers.
