Teach parse_commit_buffer about grafting.

Introduce a new file $GIT_DIR/info/grafts (or $GIT_GRAFT_FILE)
which is a list of "fake commit parent records".  Each line of
this file is a commit ID, followed by parent commit IDs, all
40-byte hex SHA1 separated by a single SP in between.  The
records override the parent information we would normally read
from the commit objects, allowing both adding "fake" parents
(i.e. grafting), and pretending as if a commit is not a child of
some of its real parents (i.e. cauterizing).
