graph: smooth appearance of collapsing edges on commit lines

When a graph contains edges that are in the process of collapsing to the
left, but those edges cross a commit line, the effect is that the edges
have a jagged appearance:

        *
        |\
        | *
        |  \
        *-. \
        |\ \ \
        | | * |
        | * | |
        | |/ /
        * | |
        |/ /
        * |
        |/
        *

We already takes steps to smooth edges like this when they're expanding;
when an edge appears to the right of a merge commit marker on a
GRAPH_COMMIT line immediately following a GRAPH_POST_MERGE line, we
render it as a `\`:

        * \
        |\ \
        | * \
        | |\ \

We can make a similar improvement to collapsing edges, making them
easier to follow and giving the overall graph a feeling of increased
symmetry:

        *
        |\
        | *
        |  \
        *-. \
        |\ \ \
        | | * |
        | * | |
        | |/ /
        * / /
        |/ /
        * /
        |/
        *

To do this, we introduce a new special case for edges on GRAPH_COMMIT
lines that immediately follow a GRAPH_COLLAPSING line. By retaining a
copy of the `mapping` array used to render the GRAPH_COLLAPSING line in
the `old_mapping` array, we can determine that an edge is collapsing
through the GRAPH_COMMIT line and should be smoothed.
