At the moment, the revert ordering from this tool is unspecified (though
it happens to be in `git log` order, so newest reverts come first).
From the standpoint of tooling and users, this seems to be the opposite
of what we want by default: tools and users will generally try to apply
these reverts as cherry-picks. If two reverts in the list are close
enough to each other, if the reverts get applied out of order, we'll get
a merge conflict.
Rather than having `reverse`s for all tools (and mental reverses for
manual users), just guarantee an oldest-first output ordering for this
function.

Chrome OS and Android have found it useful to have an automated revert
checker. It was requested to upstream it, since other folks in the LLVM
community may also find value in it.
The tests depend on having a full (non-shallow) checkout of LLVM. This
seems reasonable to me, since:
- the tests should only be run if the user is developing on this script
- it's kind of hard to develop on this script without local git history
:)
If people really want, the tests' dependency on LLVM's history can be
removed. It's mostly just effort/complexity that doesn't seem necessary.
