[PATCH v17 7/7] bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function partially in C

From

<87a033b858d7e6acba2671339f6bdded03dcdc3a.1546443509.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.101.v17.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Pranit Bauva <pranit.bauva@gmail.com>

Reimplement the `bisect_start` shell function partially in C and add `bisect-start` subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from git-bisect.sh .

The last part is not converted because it calls another shell function. `bisect_start` shell function will be completed after the `bisect_next` shell function is ported in C.

Using `--bisect-start` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell function in C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions are ported, this subcommand will be retired and will be called by some other methods.

Also introduce a method `bisect_append_log_quoted` to keep things short and crisp.

Note that we are a bit lax about command-line parsing because the helper is not supposed to be called by the user directly (but only from the git bisect script).
