[PATCH v3 08/13] bisect: libify `exit_if_skipped_commits` to `error_if_skipped*` and its dependents

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.

Update all callers to handle the error returns.
