last-modified: new subcommand to show when files were last modified

Similar to git-blame(1), introduce a new subcommand
git-last-modified(1). This command shows the most recent modification to
paths in a tree. It does so by expanding the tree at a given commit,
taking note of the current state of each path, and then walking
backwards through history looking for commits where each path changed
into its final commit ID.
