When `git blame --color-by-age`, the determine_line_heat() is called to
select how to color the output based on the commit's author date. It
uses the get_commit_info() to parse the information into a `commit_info`
structure, however, this is actually unnecessary because the
determine_line_heat() caller also does the same.
Instead, let's change the determine_line_heat() to take a `commit_info`
structure and remove the internal call to get_commit_info() thus
cleaning up and optimizing the code path.
Enabling Git's trace2 API in order to record the execution time for
every call to determine_line_heat() function:
+ trace2_region_enter("blame", "determine_line_heat", the_repository);
determine_line_heat(ent, &default_color);
+ trace2_region_enter("blame", "determine_line_heat", the_repository);
Then, running `git blame` for "kernel/fork.c" in linux.git and summing
all the execution time for every call (around 1.3k calls) resulted in
2.6x faster execution (best out 3):
git built from 328c109303 (The eighth batch, 2021-02-12) = 42ms
git built from 328c109303 + this change = 16ms
