[PATCH v5 06/16] bisect--helper: make the order consistently `argc, argv`

<c9dc0281e38bf9bc0bce72de172b5dbadbcbb1f5.1661604264.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1132.v5.git.1661604264.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In C, the natural order is for `argc` to come before `argv` by virtue of the `main()` function declaring the parameters in precisely that order.

It is confusing & distracting, then, when readers familiar with the C language read code where that order is switched around.

Let's just change the order and avoid that type of developer friction.
