pack: Improve error handling for get_delta_base()

This change moves the responsibility of setting the error upon failures
of get_delta_base() to get_delta_base() instead of its callers. That
way, the caller chan always check if the return value is negative and
mark the whole operation as an error instead of using garbage values,
which can lead to crashes if the .pack files are malformed.
