Subject: [PATCH v3 08/13] bisect: libify `exit_if_skipped_commits` to `error_if_skipped*` and its dependents

From: Miriam Rubio <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2020 10:06:59 +0100

From: Pranit Bauva <[email-masked]>

Since we want to get rid of git-bisect.sh, it would be necessary to
convert those exit() calls to return statements so that errors can be
reported.

Emulate try catch in C by converting `exit(<positive-value>)` to
`return <negative-value>`. Follow POSIX conventions to return
<negative-value> to indicate error.

Update all callers to handle the error returns.
