Previous patches leave lots of holes and padding in this struct. This patch reorders the members and shrinks the struct down to 80 bytes (from 136 bytes, before any field shrinking is done) with 16 bits to spare (and a couple more in in_pack_header_size when we really run out of bits).
This is the last in a series of memory reduction patches (see "pack-objects: a bit of document about struct object_entry" for the first one). Overall they've reduced repack memory size on linux-2.6.git from 3.747G to 3.424G, or by around 320M, a decrease of 8.5%. The runtime of repack has stayed the same throughout this series. Ævar's testing on a big monorepo he has access to (bigger than linux-2.6.git) has shown a 7.9% reduction, so the overall expected improvement should be somewhere around 8%.
