As reported earlier [1], the add_missing_tags() method in remote.c has quadratic performance. Some of that performance is curbed due to the generation-number cutoff in in_merge_bases_many(). However, that fix doesn't help users without a commit-graph, and it can still be painful if that cutoff is sufficiently low compared to the tags we are using for reachability testing. Add a new method in commit-reach.c called get_reachable_subset() which does a many-to-many reachability test. Starting at the 'from' commits, walk until the generation is below the smallest generation in the 'to' commits, or all 'to' commits have been discovered. This performs only one commit walk for the entire add_missing_tags() method, giving linear performance in the worst case. Tests are added in t6600-test-reach.sh to ensure get_reachable_subset() works independently of its application in add_missing_tags().
