Subject: [PATCH] git-bisect: make "start", "good" and "skip" succeed or fail
 atomically

Before this patch, when "git bisect start", "git bisect good" or
"git bisect skip" were called with many revisions, they could fail
after having already marked some revisions as "good", "bad" or
"skip".

This could be especilally bad for "git bisect start" because as
the file ".git/BISECT_NAMES" would not have been written, there
would have been no attempt to clear the marked revisions on a
"git bisect reset". That's because if there is no
".git/BISECT_NAMES" file, nothing is done to clean things up, as
the bisect session is not supposed to have started.

While at it, let's also create the ".git/BISECT_START" file, only
after ".git/BISECT_NAMES" as been created.
