[PATCH v2 1/2] bisect: relax requirement for a working tree.

Now that bisection does not require checkout, it can work on bare repositories too.

In this case, we default the checkout mode to --no-checkout, thereby forcing the creation of BISECT_HEAD on either a manual or automatic start.

The require_work_tree check in git-bisect.sh and the NEED_WORK_TREE check in git.c are relaxed.

 This option may be useful when the test you would perform in each step
 does not require a checked out tree.

+If the repository is bare, `--no-checkout` is assumed.
