From: Pranit Bauva <pranit.bauva@gmail.com>

Since we want to get rid of git-bisect.sh it would be necessary to convert those exit() calls to return statements so that errors can be reported.

Emulate try catch in C by converting `exit(<positive-value>)` to `return <negative-value>`. Follow POSIX conventions to return <negative-value> to indicate error.

Handle the return value in dependent function check_merge_bases().
