Nicolas Pitre 4287307833 [PATCH] clean up pack index handling a bit
Especially with the new index format to come, it is more appropriate
to encapsulate more into check_packed_git_idx() and assume less of the
index format in struct packed_git.

To that effect, the index_base is renamed to index_data with void * type
so it is not used directly but other pointers initialized with it. This
allows for a couple pointer cast removal, as well as providing a better
generic name to grep for when adding support for new index versions or
formats.

And index_data is declared const too while at it.

* value illegal and abort reading the file.
*
* This is the case because the number of objects in a packfile
* cannot exceed 1,431,660,000 as every object would need at least
* 3 bytes of data and the overall packfile cannot exceed 4 GiB with
* version 1 of the index file due to the offsets limited to 32 bits.
* Clearly the signature exceeds this maximum.
*
* Very old git binaries will also compare the first 4 bytes to the
* next 4 bytes in the index and abort with a "non-monotonic index"
* error if the second 4 byte word is smaller than the first 4
* byte word. This would be true in the proposed future index
* format as idx_signature would be greater than idx_version.
