revision: use priority queue for non-limited streaming walks

The streaming (non-limited) walk in get_revision_1() inserts newly
discovered parent commits into a date-sorted queue via
commit_list_insert_by_date(), which scans the linked list to find the
insertion point -- O(w) per insert, where w is the width of the active
walk frontier.  Replace this with an O(log w) priority queue.

Add a commit_queue field to rev_info alongside the existing commits
linked list.  The two representations are mutually exclusive: setup
and external callers that need list access use the linked list, then
get_revision_1() lazily drains it into the priority queue on first
call.  Add a REV_WALK_NO_WALK enum value to distinguish the no_walk
case (which still uses the commit list) from the streaming case.

The conversion function rev_info_commit_list_to_queue() is public so
callers that know they will iterate can convert early.

Combined with the limit_list() priority queue change already in
master, this eliminates all O(w) sorted linked-list insertion from
the revision walk machinery.
