revision.c: begin refactoring --topo-order logic

When running 'git rev-list --topo-order' and its kin, the topo_order
setting in struct rev_info implies the limited setting. This means
that the following things happen during prepare_revision_walk():

* revs->limited implies we run limit_list() to walk the entire
  reachable set. There are some short-cuts here, such as if we
  perform a range query like 'git rev-list COMPARE..HEAD' and we
  can stop limit_list() when all queued commits are uninteresting.

* revs->topo_order implies we run sort_in_topological_order(). See
  the implementation of that method in commit.c. It implies that
  the full set of commits to order is in the given commit_list.

These two methods imply that a 'git rev-list --topo-order HEAD'
command must walk the entire reachable set of commits _twice_ before
returning a single result.

If we have a commit-graph file with generation numbers computed, then
there is a better way. This patch introduces some necessary logic
redirection when we are in this situation.

In v2.18.0, the commit-graph file contains zero-valued bytes in the
positions where the generation number is stored in v2.19.0 and later.
Thus, we use generation_numbers_enabled() to check if the commit-graph
is available and has non-zero generation numbers.

When setting revs->limited only because revs->topo_order is true,
only do so if generation numbers are not available. There is no
reason to use the new logic as it will behave similarly when all
generation numbers are INFINITY or ZERO.

In prepare_revision_walk(), if we have revs->topo_order but not
revs->limited, then we trigger the new logic. It breaks the logic
into three pieces, to fit with the existing framework:

1. init_topo_walk() fills a new struct topo_walk_info in the rev_info
   struct. We use the presence of this struct as a signal to use the
   new methods during our walk. In this patch, this method simply
   calls limit_list() and sort_in_topological_order(). In the future,
   this method will set up a new data structure to perform that logic
   in-line.

2. next_topo_commit() provides get_revision_1() with the next topo-
   ordered commit in the list. Currently, this simply pops the commit
   from revs->commits.

3. expand_topo_walk() provides get_revision_1() with a way to signal
   walking beyond the latest commit. Currently, this calls
   add_parents_to_list() exactly like the old logic.

While this commit presents method redirection for performing the
exact same logic as before, it allows the next commit to focus only
on the new logic.
