Keep last used delta base in the delta window 

This is based on Martin Koegler's idea to keep the object that
was successfully used as the base of the delta when it is about
to fall off the edge of the window.  Instead of doing so only
for the objects at the edge of the window, this makes the window
a lru eviction mechanism.  If an entry is used as a base, it is
moved to the last of the queue to be evicted.

This is a quick-and-dirty implementation, as it keeps the original
implementation of the data structure used for the window.  This
originally was done as an array, not as an array of pointers,
because it was meant to be used as a cyclic FIFO buffer and a
plain array avoids an extra pointer indirection, while its FIFOness
eant that we are not "moving" the entries like this patch does.

The runtime from three versions were comparable.  It seems to
make the resulting chain even shorter, which can only be good.
