contrib: add a commit synthesizer for reproducing scaling problems
This adds two new commands:
- analyze examines an existing repo and writes out a statistical
description of its properties that contains no identifying
information.
- synthesize creates new commits based on the description generated
by analyze.
The intention is that a repo constructed using synthesize will have
properties that are vaguely statistically similar to the originating
repo, but entirely random content.
This can be useful for forecasting performance as a repo grows, and
for developers who want to find bottlenecks in proprietary repos
to which they do not have access.
