graph: truncate graph visual output

When '--graph-lane-limit' is set, lanes over the limit should
not be drawn. Teach each graph state to stop rendering at the
lane limit and print a '.' truncation mark, so users know that
there are hidden lanes.

On the commit line, if the commit lives on a visible lane, show
the normal commit mark and truncate after it, if the commit lives
on the first hidden lane (the truncation mark lane) show the "*"
instead of the truncation mark so it is known that this commit sits
on the first hidden lane. Commits on deeper lanes don't leave
a mark.

For merges, the post-merge lane is only needed when the commit or
the first parent lives on a visible lane (to draw the connection
between them), when both are on hidden lanes, post-merge carries no
useful information, skip it and go to collapsing or padding state.
