t/perf: time rev-list with UNINTERESTING commits

We time a straight "rev-list --all" and its "--object"
counterpart, both going all the way to the root. However, we
do not time a partial history walk. This patch adds an
extreme case: a walk over a very small slice of history, but
with a very large set of UNINTERESTING tips. This is similar
to the connectivity check run by git on a small fetch, or
the walk done by any pre-receive hooks that want to check
incoming commits.

This test reveals a performance regression in git v1.8.4.2,
caused by fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges
in mark_edges_uninteresting, 2013-08-16):
