Merge branch 'jc/topo-author-date-sort'

"git log" learned the "--author-date-order" option, with which the
output is topologically sorted and commits in parallel histories
are shown intermixed together based on the author timestamp.

* jc/topo-author-date-sort:
  t6003: add --author-date-order test
  topology tests: teach a helper to set author dates as well
  t6003: add --date-order test
  topology tests: teach a helper to take abbreviated timestamps
  t/lib-t6000: style fixes
  log: --author-date-order
  sort-in-topological-order: use prio-queue
  prio-queue: priority queue of pointers to structs
  toposort: rename "lifo" field
