Matthieu Moy 06e6a74506 bisect: allow setting any user-specified in 'git bisect start' ...

This allows a natural user-interface when looking for any change in the
code, not just regression. For example:

git bisect start --term-old fast --term-new slow
git bisect fast
git bisect slow
...

There were several proposed user-interfaces for this feature. This patch
implements it as options to 'git bisect start' for the following reasons:

* By construction, the terms will be valid for one and only one
  bisection.

* Unlike positional arguments, using named options avoid having to
  remember an order.

* We can combine user-defined terms and passing old/new commits as
  argument to "git bisect start".

* The implementation is relatively simple.
