rev-list: fix --reverse interaction with --parents

--reverse did not interact well with --parents, as the included test
case shows: in a history like

  A--B.
   \   \
    `C--M--D

the command

  git rev-list --reverse --parents --full-history HEAD

erroneously lists D as having no parents at all.  (Without --reverse,
it correctly lists M.)

This is caused by the machinery driving --reverse: it first grabs all
commits through the normal routines, then runs them through the same
routines again, effectively simplifying them twice.

Fix this by moving the --reverse one level up, into get_revision().
This way we can cleanly grab all commits via the normal calls, then
just pop them off the list one by one without interfering with
get_revision_internal().
