Clear the delta base cache if a pack is rebuilt

There is some risk that re-opening a regenerated pack file with
different offsets could leave stale entries within the delta base
cache that could be matched up against other objects using the same
"struct packed_git*" and pack offset.

Throwing away the entire delta base cache in this case is safer,
as we don't have to worry about a recycled "struct packed_git*"
matching to the wrong base object, resulting in delta apply
errors while unpacking an object.
