deltas: skip if projected delta size does not match text size constraint Before computing any delta, we get a basic estimation of the delta size we can expect and the resulted compressed value. We then checks this projected size against the ½ⁿ size constraints. This allows to exclude potential base candidates before doing any expensive computation. This only apply to the intermediate-snapshot case since this constraint only apply to them. In practice we only perform this new checks for the manifestlog. Manifest log combine two property: it is likely to have delta chain issue and its diffing/compression is fairly predictable. The initial author of this changeset is Valentin Gatien-Baron providing the initial idea and initial testing, Pierre-Yves David later consolidated the code in the right location and run more extensive testing.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
