t5310: factor out bitmap traversal comparison

We check the results of "rev-list --use-bitmap-index" by comparing it to
the same traversal without the bitmap option. However, this is a little
tricky to do because of some output differences (see the included
comment for details). Let's pull this out into a helper function, since
we'll be adding some similar tests.

While we're at it, let's also try to confirm that the bitmap output did
indeed use bitmaps. Since the code internally falls back to the
non-bitmap path in some cases, the tests are at risk of becoming trivial
noops.

This is a bit fragile, as not all outputs will differ (e.g., looking at
only the commits from a fully-bitmapped pack will end up exactly the
same as the normal traversal order, since it also matches the pack
order). So we'll provide an escape hatch by which tests can disable this
check (which should only be used after manually confirming that bitmaps
kicked in).
