The commit list's in- and out-degrees are currently stored as `unsigned
short`. When assigning it the value of `git_array_size`, which returns
an `size_t`, this generates a warning on some Win32 platforms due to
loosing precision.

We could just cast the returned value of `git_array_size`, which would
work fine for 99.99% of all cases as commits typically have less than
2^16 parents. For crafted commits though we might end up with a wrong
value, and thus we should definitely check whether the array size
actually fits into the field.

To ease the check, let's convert the fields to store the degrees as
`uint16_t`. We shouldn't rely on such unspecific types anyway, as it may
lead to different behaviour across platforms. Furthermore, this commit
introduces a new `git__is_uint16` function to check whether it actually
fits -- if not, we return an error.
