config: make `delta_base_cache_limit` a non-global variable

The `delta_base_cache_limit` variable is a global config variable used
by multiple subsystems. Let's make this non-global, by adding this
variable independently to the subsystems where it is used.

First, add the setting to the `repo_settings` struct, this provides
access to the config in places where the repository is available. Use
this in `packfile.c`.

In `index-pack.c` we add it to the `pack_idx_option` struct and its
constructor. While the repository struct is available here, it may not
be set  because `git index-pack` can be used without a repository.

In `gc.c` add it to the `gc_config` struct and also the constructor
function. The gc functions currently do not have direct access to a
repository struct.

These changes are made to remove the usage of `delta_base_cache_limit`
as a global variable in `packfile.c`. This brings us one step closer to
removing the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` definition in `packfile.c`
which we complete in the next patch.
