commit-graph: reuse existing Bloom filters where possible

In an earlier commit, a bug was described where it's possible for Git to
produce non-murmur3 hashes when the platform's "char" type is signed,
and there are paths with characters whose highest bit is set (i.e. all
characters >= 0x80).

That patch allows the caller to control which version of Bloom filters
are read and written. However, even on platforms with a signed "char"
type, it is possible to reuse existing Bloom filters if and only if
there are no changed paths in any commit's first parent tree-diff whose
characters have their highest bit set.

When this is the case, we can reuse the existing filter without having
to compute a new one. This is done by marking trees which are known to
have (or not have) any such paths. When a commit's root tree is verified
to not have any such paths, we mark it as such and declare that the
commit's Bloom filter is reusable.

Note that this heuristic only goes in one direction. If neither a commit
nor its first parent have any paths in their trees with non-ASCII
characters, then we know for certain that a path with non-ASCII
characters will not appear in a tree-diff against that commit's first
parent. The reverse isn't necessarily true: just because the tree-diff
doesn't contain any such paths does not imply that no such paths exist
in either tree.

So we end up recomputing some Bloom filters that we don't strictly have
to (i.e. their bits are the same no matter which version of murmur3 we
use). But culling these out is impossible, since we'd have to perform
the full tree-diff, which is the same effort as computing the Bloom
filter from scratch.

But because we can cache our results in each tree's flag bits, we can
often avoid recomputing many filters, thereby reducing the time it takes
to run

    $ git commit-graph write --changed-paths --reachable

when upgrading from v1 to v2 Bloom filters.

To benchmark this, let's generate a commit-graph in linux.git with v1
changed-paths in generation order[^1]:

    $ git clone [email protected]:torvalds/linux.git
    $ cd linux
    $ git commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths
    $ graph=".git/objects/info/commit-graph"
    $ mv $graph{,.bak}

Then let's time how long it takes to go from v1 to v2 filters (with and
without the upgrade path enabled), resetting the state of the
commit-graph each time:

    $ git config commitGraph.changedPathsVersion 2
    $ hyperfine -p 'cp -f $graph.bak $graph' -L v 0,1 \
        'GIT_TEST_UPGRADE_BLOOM_FILTERS={v} git.compile commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths'

On linux.git (where there aren't any non-ASCII paths), the timings
indicate that this patch represents a speed-up over recomputing all
Bloom filters from scratch:

    Benchmark 1: GIT_TEST_UPGRADE_BLOOM_FILTERS=0 git.compile commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths
      Time (mean ± σ):     124.873 s ±  0.316 s    [User: 124.081 s, System: 0.643 s]
      Range (min … max):   124.621 s … 125.227 s    3 runs

    Benchmark 2: GIT_TEST_UPGRADE_BLOOM_FILTERS=1 git.compile commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths
      Time (mean ± σ):     79.271 s ±  0.163 s    [User: 74.611 s, System: 4.521 s]
      Range (min … max):   79.112 s … 79.437 s    3 runs

    Summary
      'GIT_TEST_UPGRADE_BLOOM_FILTERS=1 git.compile commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths' ran
        1.58 ± 0.01 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_UPGRADE_BLOOM_FILTERS=0 git.compile commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths'

On git.git, we do have some non-ASCII paths, giving us a more modest
improvement from 4.163 seconds to 3.348 seconds, for a 1.24x speed-up.
On my machine, the stats for git.git are:

  - 8,285 Bloom filters computed from scratch
  - 10 Bloom filters generated as empty
  - 4 Bloom filters generated as truncated due to too many changed paths
  - 65,114 Bloom filters were reused when transitioning from v1 to v2.

[^1]: Note that this is is important, since `--stdin-packs` or
  `--stdin-commits` orders commits in the commit-graph by their pack
  position (with `--stdin-packs`) or in the raw input (with
  `--stdin-commits`).

  Since we compute Bloom filters in the same order that commits appear
  in the graph, we must see a commit's (first) parent before we process
  the commit itself. This is only guaranteed to happen when sorting
  commits by their generation number.
