Before this patch, when using "git bisect start" with mistaken revs
or when the checkout of the branch we want to test failed, we exited
after having written files like ".git/BISECT_START",
".git/BISECT_NAMES" and after having written "refs/bisect/bad" and
"refs/bisect/good-*" refs.

With this patch we trap all errors that can happen when writing the
new state and when we are in "bisect_next". So that we can try to
clean up everything in case of problems, using "bisect_clean_state".

This patch also contains a "bisect_write" cleanup to make it exit
on error and return 0 otherwise.
