commit-reach: early exit paint_down_to_common for single merge-base

Commits not in the commit-graph get GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY and
sort to the top of the priority queue.  After those, commits with
finite generation numbers are popped in non-increasing order.
When MERGE_BASE_FIND_ALL is not set the first doubly-painted commit
with a finite generation is therefore a best merge-base: no commit
still in the queue can be a descendant of it.  Skip the expensive
STALE drain in this case.

Add MERGE_BASE_FIND_ALL to the merge_base_flags enum.  Callers that
need every merge-base (repo_get_merge_bases_many, repo_get_merge_bases,
repo_in_merge_bases_many, remove_redundant_no_gen) pass the flag to
preserve existing behavior.  git merge-base (without --all) passes 0,
triggering the early exit.

On a 2.2M-commit merge-heavy monorepo with commit-graph:

  HEAD vs ~500:   5,229ms -> 24ms
  HEAD vs ~1000:  4,214ms -> 39ms
  HEAD vs ~5000:  3,799ms -> 46ms
  HEAD vs ~10000: 3,827ms -> 61ms
