fsck: verify commit-graph
If core.commitGraph is true, verify the contents of the commit-graph during 'git fsck' using the 'git commit-graph verify' subcommand. Run this check on all alternates, as well. We use a new process for two reasons: 1. The subcommand decouples the details of loading and verifying a commit-graph file from the other fsck details. 2. The commit-graph verification requires the commits to be loaded in a specific order to guarantee we parse from the commit-graph file for some objects and from the object database for others.
