split the diff-delta interface

This patch splits the diff-delta interface into index creation and delta
generation.  A wrapper is provided to preserve the diff-delta() call.

This will allow for an optimization in pack-objects.c where the source
object could be fixed and a full window of objects tentatively tried
against
that same source object without recomputing the source index each time.

This patch only restructure things, plus a couple cleanups for good
measure. There is no performance change yet.
