revision.h: introduce blob/tree walking in order of the commits

The functionality to list tree objects in the order they were seen
while traversing the commits will be used in one of the next commits,
where we teach `git describe` to describe not only commits, but blobs, too.

The change in list-objects.c is rather minimal as we'll be re-using
the infrastructure put in place of the revision walking machinery. For
example one could expect that add_pending_tree is not called, but rather
commit->tree is directly passed to the tree traversal function. This
however requires a lot more code than just emptying the queue containing
trees after each commit.
