bisect: introduce first-parent flag
Upon seeing a merge commit when bisecting, this option may be used to follow only the first parent. In detecting regressions introduced through the merging of a branch, the merge commit will be identified as introduction of the bug and its ancestors will be ignored. This option is particularly useful in avoiding false positives when a merged branch contained broken or non-buildable commits, but the merge itself was OK.
