commit-reach: add tips_reachable_from_bases()

Browse Source 
Both 'git for-each-ref --merged=<X>' and 'git branch --merged=<X>' use
the ref-filter machinery to select references or branches (respectively)
that are reachable from a set of commits presented by one or more
--merged arguments. This happens within reach_filter(), which uses the
revision-walk machinery to walk history in a standard way.

However, the commit-reach.c file is full of custom searches that are
more efficient, especially for reachability queries that can terminate
early when reachability is discovered. Add a new
tips_reachable_from_bases() method to commit-reach.c and call it from
within reach_filter() in ref-filter.c. This affects both 'git branch'
and 'git for-each-ref' as tested in p1500-graph-walks.sh.

For the Linux kernel repository, we take an already-fast algorithm and
make it even faster:

Test                                            HEAD~1  HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1500.5: contains: git for-each-ref --merged     0.13    0.02 -84.6%
1500.6: contains: git branch --merged           0.14    0.02 -85.7%
1500.7: contains: git tag --merged              0.15    0.03 -80.0%

(Note that we remove the iterative 'git rev-list' test from p1500
because it no longer makes sense as a comparison to 'git for-each-ref'
and would just waste time running it for these comparisons.)

The algorithm is implemented in commit-reach.c in the method
tips_reachable_from_base(). This method takes a string_list of tips and
assigns the 'util' for each item with the value 1 if the base commit can
reach those tips.

Like other reachability queries in commit-reach.c, the fastest way to
search for "can A reach B?" is to do a depth-first search up to the
generation number of B, preferring to explore first parents before later
parents. While we must walk all reachable commits up to that generation
number when the answer is "no", the depth-first search can answer "yes"
much faster than other approaches in most cases.

This search becomes trickier when there are multiple targets for the
depth-first search. The commits with lower generation number are more
likely to be within the history of the start commit, but we don't want
to waste time searching commits of low generation number if the commit
target with lowest generation number has already been found.

The trick here is to take the input commits and sort them by generation
number in ascending order. Track the index within this order as
min_generation_index. When we find a commit, if its index in the list is
equal to min_generation_index, then we can increase the generation
number boundary of our search to the next-lowest value in the list.

With this mechanism, the number of commits to search is minimized with
respect to the depth-first search heuristic. We will walk all commits up
to the minimum generation number of a commit that is _not_ reachable
from the start, but we will walk only the necessary portion of the
depth-first search for the reachable commits of lower generation.

Add extra tests for this behavior in t6600-test-reach.sh as the
interesting data shape of that repository can sometimes demonstrate
corner case bugs.
