In pack version 4, ref-delta technically could be used to compress any
objects including commits and trees (both canonical and v4). But it
does not make sense to do so. It can only lead to performance
degradation. Catch those packers.

 I could now verify that pack-objects does not compress commits nor
 trees using ref-delta in v4. But perhaps these are a bit too strict?
 Maybe downgrade from die() to warning() and still accept the pack?
