builtin/commit-graph.c: support for '--split[=<strategy>]'

With '--split', the commit-graph machinery writes new commits in another
incremental commit-graph which is part of the existing chain, and
optionally decides to condense the chain into a single commit-graph.
This is done to ensure that the asymptotic behavior of looking up a
commit in an incremental chain is not dominated by the number of
incrementals in that chain. It can be controlled by the '--max-commits'
and '--size-multiple' options.

In the next two commits, we will introduce additional splitting
strategies that can exert additional control over:

  - when a split commit-graph is and isn't written, and

  - when the existing commit-graph chain is discarded completely and
    replaced with another graph

To prepare for this, make '--split' take an optional strategy (as in
'--split[=<strategy>]'), and add a new enum to describe which strategy
is being used. For now, no strategies are given, and the only enumerated
value is 'COMMIT_GRAPH_SPLIT_UNSPECIFIED', indicating the absence of a
strategy.
