This error message is very confusing---it doesn't tell the user
anything about how to fix the situation. And the actual fix
for the situation ("git bisect reset") does a checkout of a
potentially random branch, (compared to what the user wants to
be on for the bisect she is starting).
The simplest way to eliminate the confusion is to just make
"git bisect start" do the cleanup itself. There's no significant
loss of safety here since we already have a general safety in
the form of the reflog.
Note: We preserve the warning for any cogito users. We do this
by switching from .git/head-name to .git/BISECT_START for the
extra state, (which is a more descriptive name anyway).

Instead of insisting on a symbolic ref, bisect now accepts detached
HEADs, too.

Before this patch, using "git bisect reset" when not bisecting
did a "git checkout master" for no good reason.
This also happened using "git bisect replay" when not bisecting
because "bisect_replay" starts by calling "bisect_reset".

If refs were ever packed in the middle of bisection, the bisect
refs were not removed from the "packed-refs" file.
This patch fixes this problem by using "git update-ref -d $ref $hash"
in "bisect_clean_state".

This is incompatible with previous versions because an exit code
of 125 used to mark current commit as "bad". But hopefully this exit
code is not much used by test scripts or other programs. (126 and 127
are used by POSIX compliant shells to mean "found but not
executable" and "command not found", respectively.)

When there are some "skip"ped revisions, we add the '--bisect-all'
option to "git rev-list --bisect-vars". Then we filter out the
"skip"ped revisions from the result of the rev-list command, and we
modify the "bisect_rev" var accordingly.
We don't always use "--bisect-all" because it is slower
than "--bisect-vars" or "--bisect".
When we cannot find for sure the first bad commit because of
"skip"ped commits, we print the hash of each possible first bad
commit and then we exit with code 2.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Instead of running rev-list and picking earlier lines using head/tail pipeline,
grab commit object name as we build commits. This also removes a non POSIX
use of tail with -linenum (more posixly-correct way to say it is "-n linenum")
