index-pack: eliminate unlimited recursion in get_delta_base()nd/index-pack-no-recurse

Revert the order of delta applying so that by the time a delta is
applied, its base is either non-delta or already inflated.
get_delta_base() is still recursive, but because base's data is always
ready, the inner get_delta_base() call never has any chance to call
itself again.
