[PATCH 2/3] fetch-pack: progressively use larger handshake windows

The client has to dig the history deeper when more recent parts of its
history do not have any overlap with the server it is fetching from. Make
the handshake window exponentially larger as we dig deeper, with a
reasonable upper cap.

 * This uses rather simpleminded "double up to the limit".
