How about in the current series, I change the option parsed by
bisect--helper.c to be:

   --bisect-mode=checkout|update-ref

The porcelain option can still be --no-checkout (or should it be
--bisect-mode too?). The porcelain will maintain a state variable
called (rather than BISECT_NO_CHECKOUT).

    BISECT_MODE

Then, the next series can add a --bisect-head option (instead of
--update-ref) to allow the head to be varied (defaulting to
BISECT_HEAD) if not specified.

To clarify: --bisect-head would default to HEAD if mode is checkout,
to BISECT_HEAD if the mode is update-ref.
