After three GSoC/Outreachy students spent an incredible effort on this, it
is finally time to put a neat little bow on it.

Changes since v2:

 * We're now careful to provide identical usage strings upon git bisect -h
   and git bisect bogus.
 * When a bogus command is provided, we now error out instead of trying to
   start a git bisect run.
 * Rebased onto main to avoid plenty of merge conflicts with
   rs/bisect-executable-not-found, ac/usage-string-fixups and with
   cd/bisect-messages-from-pre-flight-states.

Changes since v1:

 * Added a regression test to "bisect run: fix the error message".
 * Added a patch to address an error message that double-single-quoted the
   command.
 * Reworked the logic in "bisect--helper: make --bisect-state optional" to
   delay showing the usage upon an unknown command, which should make the
   code a lot less confusing.
 * Split out the change that moved the BISECT_STATE case to the end of the
   switch block.
 * Added a patch that replaces the return error() calls in
   cmd_bisect_helper() with die() calls, to avoid returning -1 as an exit
   code.
 * Dropped the use of parse_options() for the single purpose of handling -h;
   This is now done explicitly.
 * Simplified the diff of "bisect: move even the option parsing to
   bisect--helper" by modifying argc and argv instead of modifying all the
   function calls using those variables.
 * In the "Turn git bisect into a full built-in" patch, changed the name of
   the variable holding the usage to use the builtin_ prefix used in other
   built-ins, too.
 * Removed the trailing dot from the commit message of "Turn git bisect into
   a full built-in".

     -    bisect: move even the option parsing to `bisect--helper`
     +    bisect: move even the command-line parsing to `bisect--helper`
      
          On our journey to a fully built-in `git bisect`, this is the
     -    second-to-last step.
     +    one of the last steps.
      
     -    Side note: The `if (!strcmp(...)) ... else if (!strcmp(...)) ... else if
     -    (!strcmp(...)) ...` chain seen in this patch was not actually the first
     -    idea how to convert the command modes to sub-commands. Since the
     -    `bisect--helper` command already used the `parse-opions` API with neatly
     -    set-up command modes, naturally the idea was to use `PARSE_OPT_NODASH`
     -    to support proper sub-commands instead. However, the `parse-options` API
     -    is not set up for that, and even after making that option work with long
     -    options, it turned out that `STOP_AT_NON_OPTION` and `KEEP_UNKNOWN`
     -    would have to be used but these options were not designed to work
     -    together. So it would appear as if a lot of work would have to be done
     -    just to be able to use `parse_options()` just to parse the sub-command,
     -    instead of a simple `if...else if` chain, the latter being a
     -    dramatically simpler implementation.
     +    Side note: The `parse-options` API is not at all set up to parse
     +    subcommands such as `git bisect start`, `git bisect reset`, etc.
     +    Instead of fighting an up-hill battle trying to "fix" that, we simply
     +    roll the same type of manual subcommand parsing as we already do e.g.
     +    in `builtin/bundle.c`.

Ah! git bisect now behave like other shell commands where bogus
command is given, instead of "accidentally" start the bisection.

BTW, do the current version of git bisect exhibit that accidental
behavior?

No, this is a fix for a bug introduced in an earlier version of this
topic, but the more general issue remains. See
https://lore.kernel.org/git/220521.86zgjazuy4.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/

Rather than a surgical fix for a specific issue I noted, with the
initial report being:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/220223.86v8x56g7g.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/

This topic could really use some confidence building by adding new "git
bisect" tests. I.e. let's have tests for what exit codes etc. we emit on
various valid and invalid "git bisect" usage.

We clearly don't have that since the proposed v2 would have introduced a
regression, and this v3 would also have done that in other cases (while
fixing the one specific case of "-h").
