bisect--helper: write_terms shell function in C

Reimplement the `write_terms` shell function in C and add a `write-terms`
subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from git-bisect.sh . Also
remove the subcommand `--check-term-format` as it can now be called from
inside the function write_terms() C implementation.

Also `|| exit` is added when calling write-terms subcommand from
git-bisect.sh so as to exit whenever there is an error.

Using `--write-terms` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell
function to C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions
are ported, this subcommand will be retired and its implementation will
be called by some other method.
