index-pack --verify: read anomalous offsets from v2 idx file

A pack v2 .idx file usually records offset using 64-bit representation
only when the offset does not fit within 31-bit, but you can handcraft
your .idx file to record smaller offset using 64-bit, storing all zero
in the upper 4-byte.  By inspecting the original idx file when running
index-pack --verify, encode such low offsets that do not need to be in
64-bit but are encoded using 64-bit just like the original idx file so
that we can still validate the pack/idx pair by comparing the idx file
recomputed with the original.
