Add a paint_state struct for use by paint_down_to_common() that
wraps a prio_queue with per-side commit counters. Each non-stale
queued commit occupies exactly one counter bucket based on its
paint flags: PARENT1-only, PARENT2-only, or both sides (a pending
merge-base candidate).
The counters are maintained by paint_count_update() which adjusts
the appropriate bucket by a signed delta. An exhaustive switch on
the paint+stale bits documents all valid flag combinations in one
place.
Convert paint_down_to_common() to use paint_state. The loop now
drains the queue via paint_queue_get() which returns NULL when all
counters reach zero, replacing the old pointer-based termination
(max_nonstale). This is equivalent behavior -- both conditions
detect that no non-stale entries remain.
paint_queue_get() uses a "pop first" form: it dequeues a commit,
then checks the counters. This means the loop exits one iteration
earlier than the old code in some topologies (the popped stale
commit is never processed), so a few step counts drop by one.
The existing nonstale_queue is left in place for ahead_behind(),
though nonstale_queue_put_dedup() and nonstale_queue_get_dedup()
became unused and are removed.
