bloom.c: core Bloom filter implementation for changed paths.

Add the core implementation for computing Bloom filters for
the paths changed between a commit and it's first parent.

We fill the Bloom filters as (const char *data, int len) pairs
as `struct bloom_filters" within a commit slab.

Filters for commits with no changes and more than 512 changes,
is represented with a filter of length zero. There is no gain
in distinguishing between a computed filter of length zero for
a commit with no changes, and an uncomputed filter for new commits
or for commits with more than 512 changes. The effect on
`git log -- path` is the same in both cases. We will fall back to
the normal diffing algorithm when we can't benefit from the
existence of Bloom filters.
