pack-objects: clamp negative window size to 0

A negative window size makes no sense, and the code in find_deltas() is
not prepared to handle it. If you pass "-1", for example, we end up
generate a 0-length array of "struct unpacked", but our loop assumes it
has at least one entry in it (and we end up reading garbage memory).

We could complain to the user about this, but it's more forgiving to
just clamp it to 0, which means "do not find any deltas at all". The
0-case is already tested earlier in the script, so we'll make sure this
does the same thing.
