commit-graph: Introduce `git_commit_list_generation_cmp` This change makes calculations of merge-bases a bit faster when there are complex graphs and the commit times cause visiting nodes multiple times. This is done by visiting the nodes in the graph in reverse generation order when the generation number is available instead of commit timestamp. If the generation number is missing in any pair of commits, it can safely fall back to the old heuristic with no negative side-effects. Part of: #5757
