Merge branch 'jc/merge-bases'

Optimise the "merge-base" computation a bit, and also update its
users that do not need the full merge-base information to call a
cheaper subset.

* jc/merge-bases:
  reduce_heads(): reimplement on top of remove_redundant()
  merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B"
  get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel
  in_merge_bases(): use paint_down_to_common()
  merge_bases_many(): split out the logic to paint history
  in_merge_bases(): omit unnecessary redundant common ancestor reduction
  http-push: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
  receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check
  in_merge_bases(): support only one "other" commit
