[PATCH 29/30] p5314: add a size test for name-hash collisions

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

This test helps inform someone as to the behavior of the name-hash
algorithms for their repo based on the paths at HEAD.

For example, the microsoft/fluentui repo had these statistics at time of
committing:

Test                                              this tree
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5314.1: paths at head                                       19.6K
5314.2: number of distinct name-hashes                       8.2K
5314.3: number of distinct full-name-hashes                 19.6K
5314.4: maximum multiplicity of name-hashes                   279
5314.5: maximum multiplicity of fullname-hashes                 1

That demonstrates that of the nearly twenty thousand path names, they
are assigned around eight thousand distinct values. 279 paths are
assigned to a single value, leading the packing algorithm to sort
objects from those paths together, by size.

In this repository, no collisions occur for the full-name-hash
algorithm.

In a more extreme example, an internal monorepo had a much worse
collision rate:

Test                                              this tree
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5314.1: paths at head                                      221.6K
5314.2: number of distinct name-hashes                      72.0K
5314.3: number of distinct full-name-hashes                221.6K
5314.4: maximum multiplicity of name-hashes                 14.4K
5314.5: maximum multiplicity of fullname-hashes                 2

Even in this repository with many more paths at HEAD, the collision rate
was low and the maximum number of paths being grouped into a single
bucket by the full-path-name algorithm was two.
