When we ran `make hdr-check`, we got the following warning on Arch Linux:
	pack-bitmap.h:20:19: error: ‘BITMAP_IDX_SIGNATURE’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]
	   20 | static const char BITMAP_IDX_SIGNATURE[] = {'B', 'I', 'T', 'M'};
	      |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

"Use" the BITMAP_IDX_SIGNATURE variable by making the size of bitmap_disk_header.magic equal to the size of BITMAP_IDX_SIGNATURE. An alternative was to simply add MAYBE_UNUSED. However, this design was chosen because we eliminate the magic number (4) in the process.

I'm tacking this patch on since this warning didn't show up until I
compiled it on gcc 9.1.0.
