A refblock entry may have a different size than 16 bits, it may even be
smaller than a byte. Correct the refcount_block_entries calculation
accordingly.

Given a offset into the image file, the refcount of its cluster can be
obtained
as follows:
- refcount_block_entries = (cluster_size / sizeof(uint16_t))
+ refcount_block_entries = (cluster_size / (refcount_bits / 8))
Consider refcount_order == 0 (that is, no shared blocks, ALL blocks have
at most refcount 1). Then, refcount_bits is (1 << 0) == 1. But 1/8 in
integer math truncates to 0 (oops, division by zero is undefined); when
in reality, the expression you want here is (cluster_size * 8 /
refcount_bits).
