revision: add next_commit_to_show()

get_revision() gets its commits from two sources depending on the mode:

1. Normally it gets the commits from get_revision_internal().

2. --max-count-oldest which was introduced at bb4ce23284 (revision.c:
   implement --max-count-oldest, 2026-05-19) gets the commits by popping
   from a saved list at revs->commits marking SHOWN and CHILD_SHOWN on
   each popped commit.

Extract the choice logic into a helper, next_commit_to_show(), which
returns the next commit regardless of the source it comes from.

This has no change in behavior. The helper is needed in a subsequent
commit that pre-fetches two commits into a buffer for lookahead purposes
and needs to pre-fetch from the same source.

The --reverse branch keeps its own pop loop. Using the helper for
--reverse would additionally set SHOWN and CHILD_SHOWN which is not
desired and a behavior change.
