[PATCH v4 3/8] t6099, t6600: add side-exhaustion regression tests

["Kristofer Karlsson via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Kristofer Karlsson <krka@spotify.com>

Add t6099 to test the case where multiple merge-base candidates exist
and one is an ancestor of another. This exercises the side-exhaustion
optimization in paint_down_to_common together with the
remove_redundant safety net in get_merge_bases_many_0.

Add a mixed finite/INFINITY test to t6600 where one tip is outside
the commit-graph (INFINITY generation) and the other is inside.
This exercises the region transition: the walk starts in the
INFINITY region where side-exhaustion is disabled, then crosses
into the finite region where it can fire.

+test_description='merge-base with ancestor among merge-base candidates
+
+Test that merge-base --all correctly handles cases where
+multiple merge-base candidates exist and one is an ancestor
+of another. The side-exhaustion optimization in
+paint_down_to_common may exit before STALE propagation
+removes the ancestor, but remove_redundant catches it.
+
+Graph shape (parents are below children):
+
+   A ----------- X
+   |\           /|
+   | B---------/ |
+   | |           |
+   e2 \         f2
+   |   |         |
+   e1 d1        f1
+    \  |        /
+     \ |       /
+      \|      /
+       C
+
+A and X are the two tips.
+B and C are both reachable from A and X.
+B reaches C through d1.
+Only B should appear in merge-base --all output.
