[PATCH] Add a topological sort procedure to commit.c

This introduces an in-place topological sort procedure to commit.c.

Given a list of commits, sort_in_topological_order() will perform an in-place
topological sort of that list.

The invariant that applies to the resulting list is:

       a reachable from b => ord(b) < ord(a)

This invariant is weaker than the --merge-order invariant, but is cheaper
to calculate (assuming the list has been identified) and will serve any
purpose where only a minimal topological order guarantee is required.
