revwalk: mark uninteresting only up to the common ancestors
This introduces a phase at the start of preparing a walk which pre-marks
uninteresting commits, but only up to the common ancestors.
We do this in a similar way to git, by walking down the history and
marking (which is what we used to do), but we keep a time-sorted
priority queue of commits and stop marking as soon as there are only
uninteresting commits in this queue.
This is a similar rule to the one used to find the merge-base. As we
keep inserting commits regardless of the uninteresting bit, if there are
only uninteresting commits in the queue, it means we've run out of
interesting commits in our walk, so we can stop.
The old mark_unintesting() logic is still in place, but that stops
walking if it finds an already-uninteresting commit, so it will stop on
the ones we've pre-marked; but keeping it allows us to also hide those
that are hidden via the callback.
