This patch extracts the common code used to compute topological levels
and corrected committer dates into a common routine,
compute_reachable_generation_numbers(). For ease of reading, it only
modifies compute_topological_levels() to use this new routine, leaving
compute_generation_numbers() to be modified in the next change.
This new routine dispatches to call the necessary functions to get and
set the generation number for a given commit through a vtable (the
compute_generation_info struct).
Computing the generation number itself is done in
compute_generation_from_max(), which dispatches its implementation based
on the generation version requested, or issuing a BUG() for unrecognized
generation versions. This does not use a vtable because the logic
depends only on the generation number version, not where the data is
being loaded from or being stored to. This is a subtle point that will
make more sense in a future change that modifies the in-memory
generation values instead of just preparing values for writing to a
commit-graph file.
This change looks like it adds a lot of new code. However, two upcoming
changes will be quite small due to the work being done in this change.
