make overflow test on delta base offset work regardless of variable size

This patch introduces the MSB() macro to obtain the desired number of
most significant bits from a given variable independently of the variable
type.

It is then used to better implement the overflow test on the OBJ_OFS_DELTA
base offset variable with the property of always working correctly
regardless of the type/size of that variable.
