[PATCH 13/16] bisect: prepare for different algorithms based on find_all

This is a preparation commit with copy-and-paste involved. The function do_find_bisection() is changed and copied to two almost similar functions compute_all_weights() and compute_relevant_weights().

The function compute_relevant_weights() stops when a "halfway" commit is found.

To keep the code clean, the halfway commit is not returned and has to be found by best_bisection() afterwards. This results in a singular additional O(#commits)-time overhead but this will be outweighed by the following changes to compute_relevant_weights().

It is necessary to keep compute_all_weights() for the "git rev-list --bisect-all" command. All other bisect-related commands will use compute_relevant_weights().
