log: --remerge-diff needs to keep around commit parents

To show a remerge diff, the merge needs to be recreated. For that to
work, the merge base(s) need to be found, which means that the commits'
parents have to be traversed until common ancestors are found (if any).

However, one optimization that hails all the way back to
cb11574 (Some more memory leak avoidance, 2006-06-17) is to release
the commit's list of parents immediately after showing it. This can break
the merge base computation.

Note that it matters more clearly when traversing the commits in
reverse: In that instance, if a parent of a merge commit has been shown
as part of the `git log` command, by the time the merge commit's diff
needs to be computed, that parent commit's list of parent commits will
have been set to `NULL` and as a result no merge base will be found.

Let's fix this by special-casing the `remerge_diff` mode, similar to
what we did with reflogs in f35650d (log: do not free parents when
walking reflog, 2017-07-07).
