snapshot: extract parent chain computation
The final step of this series is to include chain related to "prev" in the
search. Before adding that code we do some simple code movement to clarify the
next diff.
# Rust builds with a modern MSVC and uses a newer CRT.
# Python 2.7 has a shared library dependency on an older CRT (msvcr90.dll).
# We statically link the modern CRT to avoid multiple msvcr*.dll libraries
# being loaded and Python possibly picking up symbols from the newer runtime
# (which would be loaded first).
