plumbing: commitgraph, fix types and handle commit-graph-chains
Unfortunately the original variant makes some incorrect typing assumptions about commit-graphs which make handling graph chains difficult to do correctly. This creates a new subpackage and deprecates the old one. It then adds support commit graph chains. Signed-off-by: Andrew Thornton <art27@cantab.net>

// Git commit graph format
// =======================
//
// The Git commit graph stores a list of commit OIDs and some associated
// metadata, including:
//
-// - The generation number of the commit. Commits with no parents have
-// generation number 1; commits with parents have generation number
-// one more than the maximum generation number of its parents. We
-// reserve zero as special, and can be used to mark a generation
-// number invalid or as "not computed".

-// Commit Data (ID: {'C', 'D', 'A', 'T' }) (N * (H + 16) bytes)
-// * The first H bytes are for the OID of the root tree.

-// of the ith commit. Stores value 0x7000000 if no parent in that
-// position. If there are more than two parents, the second value
-// has its most-significant bit on and the other bits store an array
-// position into the Extra Edge List chunk.
-// * The next 8 bytes store the generation number of the commit and
-// the commit time in seconds since EPOCH. The generation number
-// uses the higher 30 bits of the first 4 bytes, while the commit
-// time uses the 32 bits of the second 4 bytes, along with the lowest
-// 2 bits of the lowest byte, storing the 33rd and 34th bit of the
-// commit time.

-// This list of 4-byte values store the second through nth parents for

-// positions for the parents until reaching a value with the most-significant
