Reimplement the `bisect_run()` shell function
in C and also add `--bisect-run` subcommand to
`git bisect--helper` to call it from git-bisect.sh.

AFAIUI manipulating the strvec directly like this means that we will 
violate the promise that strvec.v is always NULL-terminated. It's 
probably safer to call 'strvec_push(run_args, command.buf)' instead of 
manipulating v and nr?

Violating the NULL-termination promise a problem because... (continued 
below)
+
+	while (1) {
+		strvec_clear(&args);
+		exit = 1;
+
+		printf(_("running %s"), command.buf);
+		res = run_command_v_opt(run_args.v, RUN_USING_SHELL);
run_command_v_opt() implicitly expects a NULL-terminated list of 
strings. It's not documented in run_command_v_opt()'s comments, however 
run_command_v_opt() does explain that it's a wrapper around 
start_command(), which uses child_process, and child_process.argv is 
documented to require a NULL-terminated list.

If argv is not NULL-terminated, we hit a buffer overflow read  in 
prepare_shell_cmd(), which can be reproduced by running something like:

   make CC=clang-11 SANITIZE=address COPTS="-Og -g" GIT_TEST_OPTS=-v 
T=t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh test

which results in ASAN reporting this error:
