stat_tracking_info() is used to calculated how many commits ahead or
behind for a branch. Rev walking can be slow especially when the
branch is way behind its remote end. By caching the results, we won't
have to rev walk every time we need these information.
stat_tracking_info() cost can be greatly reduced this way.
This makes sure "git status" instant no matter how far behind HEAD
is, except the first time after HEAD changes. This also makes
"branch -v" usable (for me) as it's now also instant versus 3.5
seconds in non-cache case on my machine.

I wanted guaranteed-fast status for another reason, but it turns out
"branch -v" benefits even more. Recent commit walking is not
efficiently optimized even with Shawn's pack bitmaps. This may be
useful some people, I guess.
