Keeping the cache around after read-tree is only one part of the
optimisation opportunities. In order to share the cache between program
instances, we need to write the TREE extension to the index.

Do so, taking the opportunity to rename 'entries' to 'entry_count' to
match the name given in the format description. The included test is
rather trivial, but works as a sanity check.

This wasn't used. We invalidate based on the full path, so we always go
down the tree, never up.

These test that we invalidate at the right levels and that we remove the
tree cache when clearing the index.

When reading from a tree, we know what every tree is going to look like,
so we can fill in the tree cache completely, making use of the index for
modification of trees a lot quicker.

This simplifies freeing the entries quite a bit; though there aren't
that many failure paths right now, introducing filling the cache from a
tree will introduce more. This makes sure not to leak memory on errors.

Add `git_merge_bases_many`

This should have been included when implementing the feature but was
missed.

If there have been no pushes, we can immediately return ITEROVER. If
there have been no hides, we must not run the uninteresting pre-mark
phase, as we do not want to hide anything and this would simply cause us
to spend time loading objects.

This introduces a phase at the start of preparing a walk which pre-marks
uninteresting commits, but only up to the common ancestors.

We do this in a similar way to git, by walking down the history and
marking (which is what we used to do), but we keep a time-sorted
priority queue of commits and stop marking as soon as there are only
uninteresting commits in this queue.

This is a similar rule to the one used to find the merge-base. As we
keep inserting commits regardless of the uninteresting bit, if there are
only uninteresting commits in the queue, it means we've run out of
interesting commits in our walk, so we can stop.

The old mark_unintesting() logic is still in place, but that stops
walking if it finds an already-uninteresting commit, so it will stop on
the ones we've pre-marked; but keeping it allows us to also hide those
that are hidden via the callback.

The old separation was due to the old merge-base finding, so it's no
longer necessary.
