The graph coloring logic for octopus merges currently has a bug. This
can be seen git.git with 74c7cfa875 (Merge of
http://members.cox.net/junkio/git-jc.git, 2005-05-05), whose second
child is 211232bae6 (Octopus merge of the following five patches.,
2005-05-05).
If one runs
git log --graph 74c7cfa875
one can see that the octopus merge is colored incorrectly. In
particular, the horizontal dashes are off by one color. Each horizontal
dash should be the color of the line to their bottom-right. Instead, they
are currently the color of the line to their bottom.
Demonstrate this breakage with a few sets of test cases. These test
cases should show not only simple cases of the bug occuring but trickier
situations that may not be handled properly in any attempt to fix the
bug.
While we're at it, include a passing test case as a canary in case an
attempt to fix the bug breaks existing operation.

In a future test case, we will be extending the commit graph. As a
result, explicitly list the tags that will generate the graph so that
when future additions are made, the current graph illustrations won't be
affected.

Before, the expect files of the test case were being generated in the
setup method. However, it would make more sense to generate these files
within the test cases that actually use them so that it's obvious to
future readers where the expected values are coming from.
Move the generation of the expect files in their own respective test
cases.
While we're at it, we want to establish a pattern in this test suite
that, firstly, a non-colored test case is given then, immediately after,
the colored version is given.
Switch test cases "log --graph with tricky octopus merge, no color" and
"log --graph with tricky octopus merge with colors" so that the "no
color" version appears first.
This patch is best viewed with `--color-moved`.

In the previous commit, we extended test_merge() so that it could
perform octopus merges. Now that the restriction is lifted, use
test_merge() to perform the octopus merge instead of manually
duplicating test_merge() functionality.

For octopus merges where the first parent edge immediately merges into
the next column to the left, the number of columns should be one less
than the usual case.
First parent to the left case:
| *-.
| |\ \
|/ / /
The usual case:
| *-.
| |\ \
| | | *
Also refactor the code to iterate over columns rather than dashes,
building from an initial patch suggested by Jeff King.
