try only 3 delta base candidates instead of 10 to speed up packing

Tests by kn, thomas_adam and myself made on various repositories indicate that 3 is a good choice. Tyring 10 deltas is much slower and does not result in significantly smaller pack files.

limit delta chain length in newly created pack files to 32 deltas

Our former limit was 128 which is fairly high. Git uses 50 by default. A smaller limit results in slightly larger pack files but makes both packing and unpacking faster.

make 'got send' properly send commits which are referenced only by tags

Problem reported by Omar Polo.

fix 'got send' adding too many objects to the pack file in some cases

Load server-side tags before loading local commits. Otherwise objects which are reachable via server-side tags will not be filtered out.
