[PATCH v2 2/4] commit-graph: fix ordering bug in generation numbers

<pull.1163.v2.git.1646056423.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

When computing the generation numbers for a commit-graph, we compute the corrected commit dates and then check if their offsets from the actual dates is too large to fit in the 32-bit Generation Data chunk. However, there is a problem with this approach: if we have parsed the generation data from the previous commit-graph, then we continue the loop because the corrected commit date is already computed. This causes an under-count in the number of overflow values.

It is incorrect to add an increment to num_generation_data_overflows next to this 'continue' statement, because we might start double-counting commits that are computed because of the depth-first search walk from a commit with an earlier OID.

Instead, iterate over the full commit list at the end, checking the offsets to see how many grow beyond the maximum value.

Update a test in t5318 to use a larger time value, which will help demonstrate this bug in more cases. It still won't hit all potential cases until the next change, which reenables reading generation numbers.
