Motivation and Background

I was trying to make a VS extension that implements something like GitLens on VSCode. If you don't know what that is that's ok. It has a lot of features, but the main thing that I use it for is to view per line blame along with the commit message like so:

I am using libgit2sharp to develop my extension. Currently I'm usingrepo.Blame(filePath) to get grab theBlameHunkCollection and display the message on a line using the VS extensibility api.repo.Blame usesgit_blame_file under the hood andgit_blame_file has a couple of issues for my usecase:

• It is really slow
• I can get an accurate blame resultonly after saving the file to disk. In other words, I cannot get the blame results for a file that is still being worked on/is open in memory

Purpose of this PR

I am creating this PR to start a discussion for adding something similar togit_blame_buffer tolibgit2sharp. There might be a better way to implement this functionality, and I would to get some feedback and bounce ideas to add this feature to the library in the best way possible.
