commit-graph: reuse existing Bloom filters during write
Add logic to
a) parse Bloom filter information from the commit graph file and,
b) re-use existing Bloom filters.
See Documentation/technical/commit-graph-format for the format in which
the Bloom filter information is written to the commit graph file.
To read Bloom filter for a given commit with lexicographic position
'i' we need to:
1. Read BIDX[i] which essentially gives us the starting index in BDAT for
filter of commit i+1. It is essentially the index past the end
of the filter of commit i. It is called end_index in the code.
2. For i>0, read BIDX[i-1] which will give us the starting index in BDAT
for filter of commit i. It is called the start_index in the code.
For the first commit, where i = 0, Bloom filter data starts at the
beginning, just past the header in the BDAT chunk. Hence, start_index
will be 0.
3. The length of the filter will be end_index - start_index, because
BIDX[i] gives the cumulative 8-byte words including the ith
commit's filter.
We toggle whether Bloom filters should be recomputed based on the
compute_if_not_present flag.
