[PATCH 3/4] revision.c: use the Bloom filter to speed up path-limited revision walks

["SZEDER Gábor" <szeder.dev@gmail.com>]

When $GIT_USE_POC_BLOOM_FILTER is set to a non-empty value, the
revision walk will use the Bloom filter to speed up a path-limited
revision walk.

Load the Bloom filter in prepare_revision_walk(); probably not the
best place for it, but it should suffice for experiementing with 'git
rev-list'.

Checking the Bloom filter is plugged into rev_compare_tree(), the
function that compares the given paths in a commit to one of its
parents.  If checking the Bloom filter returns that the interesting
paths did not change, then it won't bother with the running the
expensive diff.

Add a new field to 'struct pathspec' to hold the SHA of the path, so
that hash is computed only once and then reused when checking each
commit.
