Junio C Hamano 94f0ced0d0 get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel ...

The get_merge_bases_many() function reduces the result returned by
the merge_bases_many() function, which is a set of possible merge
bases, by excluding commits that can be reached from other commits.
We used to do N*(N-1) traversals for this, but we can check if one
commit reaches which other (N-1) commits by a single traversal, and
repeat it for all the candidates to find the answer.

Introduce remove_redundant() helper function to do this painting; we
should be able to use it to reimplement reduce_heads() as well.
