There are several commit walks in the codebase. Group them together into
a new commit-reach.c file and corresponding header. After we group these
walks into one place, we can reduce duplicate logic by calling
equivalent methods.

The ref_newer() method is used by 'git push -f' to check if a force-push
is necessary. By making the method public, we make it possible to test
the method directly without setting up an envieronment where a 'git
push' call makes sense.
