commit-graph: add base graphs chunk

To quickly verify a commit-graph chain is valid on load, we will
read from the new "Base Graphs Chunk" of each file in the chain.
This will prevent accidentally loading incorrect data from manually
editing the commit-graph-chain file or renaming graph-{hash}.graph
files.

The commit_graph struct already had an object_id struct "oid", but
it was never initialized or used. Add a line to read the hash from
the end of the commit-graph file and into the oid member.
