Last piece of the delta API to still expose unsigned long. The
function literally returns struct delta_index.memsize, which became
size_t in the first commit of this series. The sole caller
(free_unpacked() in builtin/pack-objects.c) already accepts size_t
via its freed_mem local, so the widening only removes the implicit
size_t -> unsigned long narrowing inside the function body.

Last stop in the delta-encoding API widening for >4 GiB blobs on
Windows: with create_delta_index() done in the prior commit and
create_delta()/diff_delta() finished here, every byte count that
crosses delta.h is now size_t. The struct fields they store into
have been size_t since the diff-delta struct widening.
The API change must move with all callers in the same commit (the
build only passes when every &delta_size matches the new size_t*).
Caller updates are kept minimal:
* builtin/pack-objects.c get_delta() and try_delta(): widen only
the local delta_size variable; the surrounding unsigned-long
locals and their cast_size_t_to_ulong() shims are out of scope
here and will be cleaned up in their own commits.
* builtin/fast-import.c, diff.c, t/helper/test-pack-deltas.c:
keep the local unsigned-long delta size (each feeds a still-
unsigned-long downstream consumer: zlib's avail_in,
deflate_it(), the test helper's own do_compress()), and bridge
via a temporary size_t plus cast_size_t_to_ulong(). The new
casts are paid back in later topics that widen those consumers.
* t/helper/test-delta.c: widen the local outright (no downstream
consumer beyond the test's own out_size, which is already
size_t).

The sole caller (try_delta() in builtin/pack-objects.c) passes an
unsigned long, which promotes safely, so no caller fixups are
needed. Splitting it out keeps the diff_delta() / create_delta()
widening, which does ripple to several callers, in its own commit.

Preparation for widening the delta-encoding API to size_t in
subsequent commits, which is what lets pack-objects drop the
cast_size_t_to_ulong() shims that 606c192380 (odb, packfile: use
size_t for streaming object sizes, 2026-05-08) had to leave behind
in get_delta() and try_delta() because their downstream consumers
were still narrow.
The struct is private to diff-delta.c, so widening its fields in
isolation is a no-op at runtime: the values stored continue to fit
in 32 bits on Windows because the public API around it still
truncates. Splitting it out keeps the API-change commit focused on
caller updates.

The Git project is not exactly the easiest project to get started in:
it's written in C and POSIX shell, with bits of Perl, Rust and other
languages sprinkled into it. On top of that, the project has grown
somewhat organically over time, making the codebase hard to navigate.
These are problems that we're aware of, and there have been and still
are efforts to clean up some of the technical debt that is natural to
exist an a project that is more than 20 years old. Furthermore, we
provide resources to newcomers that help them out like our coding
guidelines, code of conduct or "MyFirstContribution.adoc".
But there is a rather practical problem: finding your way around in our
project's tree is not easy. Doing a directory listing in the top-level
directory will present you with more than 550 files, which makes it
extremely hard for a newcomer to figure out what files they are even
supposed to look at. This makes the onboarding experience somewhat
harder than it really needs to be. This isn't only a problem for
newcomers though, as I myself struggle to find the files I am looking
for because of the sheer number of files.
Besides the problem of discoverability it also creates a problem of
structure. It is not obvious at all which files are part of "libgit.a"
and which files are only linked into our final executables. So while we
have this split in our build systems, that split is not evident at all
in our tree.
Introduce a new "lib/" directory and move all of our sources for
"libgit.a" into it to fix these issues. It makes the split we have
evident and reduces the number of files in our top-level tree from 550
files to ~80 files.
This is still a lot of files, but it's significantly easier to navigate
already. Furthermore, we can further iterate after this step and think
about introducing a better structure for remaining files, as well.
