Both callers of git_prompt in bisect--helper.c ask the user for yes/no
confirmation. They both place the question mark after the choices,
however this is inconsistent with how most UNIX-y tools do it. Update
the format string to exclude the choices from the question.
Is there somewhere that the claim can be confirmed?  I am not having
much luck with queries like

https://www.google.com/search?q=prompt+question+mark+and+choices

that gave https://home.csulb.edu/~murdock/choice.html the most
relevant page X-<.

I personally do not think this step is worth doing, but in any case,
NEVER touch po/* directory when you are updating code and strings in
the code.  It is something our i18n coordinator will do at certain
point in the release cycle.
