commit: add generation number to struct commit
The generation number of a commit is defined recursively as follows:
* If a commit A has no parents, then the generation number of A is one.
* If a commit A has parents, then the generation number of A is one
more than the maximum generation number among the parents of A.
Add a uint32_t generation field to struct commit so we can pass this
information to revision walks. We use three special values to signal
the generation number is invalid:
GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY 0xFFFFFFFF
GENERATION_NUMBER_MAX 0x3FFFFFFF
GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO 0
The first (_INFINITY) means the generation number has not been loaded or
computed. The second (_MAX) means the generation number is too large to
store in the commit-graph file. The third (_ZERO) means the generation
number was loaded from a commit graph file that was written by a version
of git that did not support generation numbers.
