[PATCH v3 1/3] Eliminate recursion in setting/clearing marks in commit list

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

Recursion in a DAG is generally a bad idea because it could be very
deep. Be defensive and avoid recursion in mark_parents_uninteresting()
and clear_commit_marks().

mark_parents_uninteresting() learns a trick from clear_commit_marks()
to avoid malloc() in (dorminant) single-parent case.
