bisect: libify `check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad` and its dependents

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.

Code that turns BISECT_INTERNAL_SUCCESS_MERGE_BASE (-11)
 to BISECT_OK (0) from `check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad()` has been moved to
`cmd_bisect__helper()`.

Update all callers to handle the error returns.
