- Previously, we sorted commits by date, which seemed to work okay.
- The one edge case where this failed was when multiple commits have the same
commit date (for example: when a range of commits are cherry picked with a
single command, they all have the same commit date [and different author
dates]).
- Commits with the same commit date would be sorted arbitrarily, and usually
break the network graph.
- This commit solves the problem by both sorting by date, and by sorting
topographically (parents aren't displayed until all their children are
displayed)

A more detailed explanation is present here:

- We upgraded `rugged` to 0.25.1.1 in !10286 for %9.1
- Prior to this upgrade, the default sort order for commits returned by
`Gitlab::Git::Repository#find_commits` was `Rugged::SORT_DATE`, which the
graph relied on.
- While upgrading `rugged`, the MR also changed this default to
`Rugged::SORT_NONE`, which broke commit ordering in the graph.
- This commit adds an option to `Gitlab::Git::Repository#find_commits` to sort
by date, and changes the graph builder `Network::Graph` so it explictly
requests the `:date` sort order
`discussion_id` may not be present when the SELECT call for notes
does not include this attribute. Don't attempt to set the discussion ID
unless the model contains the attribute.
