[PATCH 00/10] more miscellaneous Bloom filter improvements

Hi,

Here are some patches that I have been sitting on while rolling out
changed-path Bloom filters at GitHub. I was initially going to send this
as four separate topics, but they really make the most sense when sent
all together.

Here's an overview of what's contained:

  - The first patch fixes a bug where Bloom filters are only read if the
    most-recent layer in a commit-graph-chain has Bloom filters.

  - Patches 2-5 introduce 'commitgraph.readChangedPaths', a new
    configuration option for debugging changed-path Bloom filters. When
    disabled, the commit-graph machinery pretends as if there are no
    BIDX/BDAT chunks.

    This is useful when testing behavior with/without Bloom filters
    without having to regenerate the commit graph.

  - Patches 6-7 introduce a new 'BFXL' chunk which is a bitmap
    indicating which Bloom filters were too large to compute (ie., had
    more than 512 changed paths). This is a prerequisite for the final
    feature, --max-changed-paths.

  - Patches 8-10 introduces '--max-new-filters <n>', which allows
    callers to limit the number of Bloom filters that they are willing
    to compute from scratch when generating commit-graphs with
    --changed-paths.

The BFXL chunk is a prerequisite for '--max-new-filters' because of an
unfortunate overloading where filters with (1) no changed paths, (2) too
many changed paths, and (3) ones that weren't computed at all are all
represented as a length-0 filter by the BIDX chunk.

The problem is that in repositories with many commits that have too many
changed-paths to store Bloom filters, specifying '--max-new-filters'
recomputes those same large filters each commit-graph write, only to
throw them away. Knowing which filters are too-large allows us to skip
over computing filters we know are a waste.

Thanks in advance for your review!
