[PATCH v15 15/27] bisect--helper: `bisect_next` and `bisect_auto_next` shell function in C

<01020157c38b19e0-81123fa5-5d9d-4f64-8f1b-ff336e83ebe4-000000@eu-west-1.amazonses.com>

Reimplement the `bisect_next` and the `bisect_auto_next` shell function in C and add the subcommands to `git bisect--helper` to call it from git-bisect.sh .

Along with this conversion of `bisect_start` has also finished and thus it has been fully ported to C.

A lot of parts of bisect.c uses exit() and these signals are then trapped in the `bisect_start` function. Since the shell script ceases its existence it would be necessary to convert those exit() calls to return statements so that errors can be reported.

As more and more calls are happening to the subcommands in `git bisect--helper`, more specifically when `bisect_start $rev` is converted to `git bisect--helper --bisect-start $rev` it is necessary to dequote the arguments because of shell to C conversion.

Using `--bisect-next` and `--bisect-auto-start` subcommands is a temporary measure to port shell function to C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions are ported, this subcommand will be retired and will be called by some other methods.
