git-bisect.sh: don't accidentally override existing branch "bisect"

If a branch named "bisect" or "new-bisect" already was created in the
repo by other means than git bisect, doing a git bisect used to override
the branch without a warning.  Now if the branch "bisect" or
"new-bisect" already exists, and it was not created by git bisect itself,
git bisect start fails with an appropriate error message.  Additionally,
if checking out a new bisect state fails due to a merge problem, git
bisect cleans up the temporary branch "new-bisect".

The accidental override has been noticed by Andres Salomon, reported
through

 actually: it will reset the bisection state, and before it does that
 it checks that you're not using some old bisection branch).
