In 80c928d947 (commit-graph: simplify compute_generation_numbers(),
2023-03-20), the code to compute generation numbers was simplified to
use the same infrastructure as is used to compute topological levels.
This refactoring introduced a bug where the generation numbers are
truncated when they exceed UINT32_MAX because we explicitly cast the
computed generation number to `uint32_t`. This is not required though:
both the computed value and the field of `struct commit_graph_data` are
of the same type `timestamp_t` already, so casting to `uint32_t` will
cause truncation.
This cast can cause us to miscompute generation data overflows:
1. Given a commit with no parents and committer date
`UINT32_MAX + 1`.
2. We compute its generation number as `UINT32_MAX + 1`, but
truncate it to `1`.
3. We calculate the generation offset via `$generation - $date`,
which is thus `1 - (UINT32_MAX + 1)`. The computation underflows
and we thus end up with an offset that is bigger than the maximum
allowed offset.
As a result, we'd be writing generation data overflow information into
the commit-graph that is bogus and ultimately not even required.
Fix this bug by removing the needless cast.

The Generation Data Chunk was implemented and tested in e8b63005c
(commit-graph: implement generation data chunk, 2021-01-16), but the
test was carefully constructed to work on systems with 32-bit dates.
Since the corrected commit date offsets still required more than 31
bits, this triggered writing the generation_data_overflow chunk.
However, upon closer look, the
write_graph_chunk_generation_data_overflow() method writes the offsets
to the chunk (as dictated by the format) but fill_commit_graph_info()
treats the value in the chunk as if it is the full corrected commit date
(not an offset). For some reason, this does not cause an issue when
using the FUTURE_DATE specified in t5318-commit-graph.sh, but it does
show up as a failure in 'git commit-graph verify' if we increase that
FUTURE_DATE to be above four billion.
Fix this error and create a 64-bit timestamp version of the test so we
can test these larger values.

When computing the generation numbers for a commit-graph, we compute
the corrected commit dates and then check if their offsets from the
actual dates is too large to fit in the 32-bit Generation Data chunk.
However, there is a problem with this approach: if we have parsed the
generation data from the previous commit-graph, then we continue the
loop because the corrected commit date is already computed. This causes
an under-count in the number of overflow values.
It is incorrect to add an increment to num_generation_data_overflows
next to this 'continue' statement, because we might start
double-counting commits that are computed because of the depth-first
search walk from a commit with an earlier OID.
Instead, iterate over the full commit list at the end, checking the
offsets to see how many grow beyond the maximum value.
Create a new t5328-commit-graph-64-bit-time.sh test script to handle
special cases of testing 64-bit timestamps. This helps demonstrate this
bug in more cases. It still won't hit all potential cases until the next
change, which reenables reading generation numbers. Use the skip_all
trick from 0a2bfccb9c (t0051: use "skip_all" under !MINGW in
single-test file, 2022-02-04) to make the output clean when run on a
32-bit system.
