[PATCH 1/1] revision: don't set parents as uninteresting if exclude promisor objects

In revision.c, `process_parents()` recursively marks commit parents as UNINTERESTING if the commit itself is UNINTERESTING. `--exclude-promisor-objects` is implemented as "iterate all objects in promisor packfiles, mark them as UNINTERESTING". So when we find a commit object in a promisor packfile, we also set its ancestors as UNINTERESTING, whether the ancestor is a promisor object or not. This causes normal objects to be falsely marked as promisor objects and removed by `git repack`.

Stop setting the parents of uninteresting commits' to UNINTERESTING when we exclude promisor objects, and add a test to prevent regression.

Note that this change would cause rev-list to report incorrect results if `--exclude-promisor-objects` is used with other revision walk filters. But `--exclude-promisor-objects` is for internal use only, so we don't have to worry about users using other filters with `--exclude-promisor-objects`.
