[PATCH 3/2] bisect: add "stop", "show" and "restart" as synonyms for other commands

From

<20080414061627.62119f74.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
This patch adds the following synonyms:
	- "show" for "visualize",
	- "stop" for "reset",
	- "restart" for "start",
as suggested by Ingo Molnar.
Note that "view" already exists as a synonym for "visualize".
