toposort: rename "lifo" field

The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a
parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are.  When
traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E":

    A----B----C
     \
      D----E

we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B
has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done.

In some applications, however, we would further want to control how
these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains
are shown.

Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and
then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output).  The
"lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used
to control this behaviour.  We start the traversal by knowing two
commits, C and E.  While keeping in mind that we also need to
inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and
record that B needs to be inspected.  By structuring the "work to be
done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next,
before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to
inspect, e.g. E.

When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered
by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing
A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together.
When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work
to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics.
After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the
next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B.

The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the
function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the
behaviour _means_.

Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible
values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and
update the existing code.  The mechanical replacement rule is:

  "lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE"
  "lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER"
