It turns out the bytes_size() function is called during normal operation, even though the DeltaType is not being serialized using to_bytes, so the servers print warning messages every time a delta is accessed. This is probably because deltas are passed to mutils's deserialize_and_run, which internally calls bytes_size after calling from_bytes. I implemented bytes_size to compute the same size as currentDeltaSize and currentDeltaToBytes would use (size of a size_t plus size of each object in the objects map).

While testing my CascadeChain code I saw that the "DeltaType::bytes_size should not be called" warning was being printed by the servers every time I called a function that used Persistent's getDelta, like get() with a specific version. It turns out this is because getDelta passes the DeltaType object to mutils's deserialize_and_run, which internally calls bytes_size after calling from_bytes on its arguments. So DeltaType does have its bytes_size function called during normal operation, even though it is never serialized using to_bytes.
I implemented bytes_size to compute the same size as currentDeltaSize and currentDeltaToBytes would use (size of a size_t plus size of each object in the objects map), and it works for me. This is a cherry-pick of the change I made on cascade_chain, so it can be merged into the main branch independently of CascadeChain.
