commit-graph: add --changed-paths option to write subcommand

Add --changed-paths option to git commit-graph write. This option will
allow users to compute information about the paths that have changed
between a commit and its first parent, and write it into the commit graph
file. If the option is passed to the write subcommand we set the
COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_BLOOM_FILTERS flag and pass it down to the
commit-graph logic.

+With the `--changed-paths` option, compute and write information about the
