Cap delta copy instructions at 64k

Although all modern delta decoders can process copy instructions
with a count as large as 0xffffff (~15.9 MiB), pack version 2 streams
are only supposed to use delta copy instructions up to 64 KiB.

Rewrite our copy instruction encode loop to use the lower 64 KiB
limit, even though modern decoders would support longer copies.

To improve encoding performance we now try to encode up to four full
copy commands in our buffer before we flush it to the stream, but
we don't try to implement full buffering here.  We are just trying
to amortize the virtual method call to the destination stream when
we have to do a large copy.
