Derrick Stolee 6cc017431c commit-reach: use can_all_from_reach
The is_descendant_of method previously used in_merge_bases() to check if
the commit can reach any of the commits in the provided list. This had
two performance problems:

1. The performance is quadratic in worst-case.

2. A single in_merge_bases() call requires walking beyond the target
   commit in order to find the full set of boundary commits that may be
   merge-bases.

The can_all_from_reach method avoids this quadratic behavior and can
limit the search beyond the target commits using generation numbers. It
requires a small prototype adjustment to stop using commit-date as a
cutoff, as that optimization is no longer appropriate here.

Since in_merge_bases() uses paint_down_to_common(), is_descendant_of()
naturally found cutoffs to avoid walking the entire commit graph. Since
we want to always return the correct result, we cannot use the
min_commit_date cutoff in can_all_from_reach. We then rely on generation
numbers to provide the cutoff.

Since not all repos will have a commit-graph file, nor will we always
have generation numbers computed for a commit-graph file, create a new
method, generation_numbers_enabled(), that checks for a commit-graph
file and sees if the first commit in the file has a non-zero generation
number. In the case that we do not have generation numbers, use the old
logic for is_descendant_of().

Performance was meausured on a copy of the Linux repository using the
'test-tool reach is_descendant_of' command using this input:

A:v4.9
X:v4.10
X:v4.11
X:v4.12
X:v4.13
X:v4.14
X:v4.15
X:v4.16
X:v4.17
X.v3.0

Note that this input is tailored to demonstrate the quadratic nature of
the previous method, as it will compute merge-bases for v4.9 versus all
of the later versions before checking against v4.1.

Before: 0.26 s
 After: 0.21 s

Since we previously used the is_descendant_of method in the ref_newer
method, we also measured performance there using
'test-tool reach ref_newer' with this input:

A:v4.9
B:v3.19

Before: 0.10 s
 After: 0.08 s

By adding a new commit with parent v3.19, we test the non-reachable case
of ref_newer:

Before: 0.09 s
 After: 0.08 s
