[PATCH v6 03/16] commit-graph: ensure Bloom filters are read with consistent settings

[Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com>]

The changed-path Bloom filter mechanism is parameterized by a couple of
variables, notably the number of bits per hash (typically "m" in Bloom
filter literature) and the number of hashes themselves (typically "k").

It is critically important that filters are read with the Bloom filter
settings that they were written with. Failing to do so would mean that
each query is liable to compute different fingerprints, meaning that the
filter itself could return a false negative. This goes against a basic
assumption of using Bloom filters (that they may return false positives,
but never false negatives) and can lead to incorrect results.

We have some existing logic to carry forward existing Bloom filter
settings from one layer to the next. In `write_commit_graph()`, we have
something like:

    if (!(flags & COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_WRITE_BLOOM_FILTERS)) {
        struct commit_graph *g = ctx->r->objects->commit_graph;

        /* We have changed-paths already. Keep them in the next graph */
        if (g && g->chunk_bloom_data) {
            ctx->changed_paths = 1;
            ctx->bloom_settings = g->bloom_filter_settings;
        }
    }

, which drags forward Bloom filter settings across adjacent layers.

This doesn't quite address all cases, however, since it is possible for
intermediate layers to contain no Bloom filters at all. For example,
suppose we have two layers in a commit-graph chain, say, {G1, G2}. If G1
contains Bloom filters, but G2 doesn't, a new G3 (whose base graph is
G2) may be written with arbitrary Bloom filter settings, because we only
check the immediately adjacent layer's settings for compatibility.

This behavior has existed since the introduction of changed-path Bloom
filters. But in practice, this is not such a big deal, since the only
way up until this point to modify the Bloom filter settings at write
time is with the undocumented environment variables:

  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_BITS_PER_ENTRY
  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_NUM_HASHES
  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS

(it is still possible to tweak MAX_CHANGED_PATHS between layers, but
this does not affect reads, so is allowed to differ across multiple
graph layers).

But in future commits, we will introduce another parameter to change the
hash algorithm used to compute Bloom fingerprints itself. This will be
exposed via a configuration setting, making this foot-gun easier to use.

To prevent this potential issue, validate that all layers of a split
commit-graph have compatible settings with the newest layer which
contains Bloom filters.
