bisect: allow setting any user-specified in 'git bisect start'
This allows a natural user-interface when looking for any change in the code, not just regression. For example: git bisect start --term-old fast --term-new slow git bisect fast git bisect slow ... There were several proposed user-interfaces for this feature. This patch implements it as options to 'git bisect start' for the following reasons: * By construction, the terms will be valid for one and only one bisection. * Unlike positional arguments, using named options avoid having to remember an order. * We can combine user-defined terms and passing old/new commits as argument to "git bisect start". * The implementation is relatively simple.
