Ensure core.packedGitWindowSize cannot be less than 2 pages.
We cannot allow a window to be smaller than 2 system pages.
This limitation is necessary to support the feature of use_pack()
where we always supply at least 20 bytes after the offset to help
the object header and delta base parsing routines.
If packedGitWindowSize were allowed to be as small as 1 system page
then we would be completely unable to access an object header which
spanned over a page as we would never be able to arrange a mapping
such that the header was contiguous in virtual memory.
