pack.h: define largest possible encoded object sizejk/fast-import-cleanup

Several callers use fixed buffers for storing the pack
object header, and they've picked 10 as a magic number. This
is reasonable, since it handles objects up to 2^67. But
let's give them a constant so it's clear that the number
isn't pulled out of thin air.
