[PATCH 09/10] bisect: add "check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad" function

[Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>]

This is a port of the function with the same name that is in
"git-bisect.sh". The new function is not used yet but will be in
a later patch.

We also implement an helper "check_ancestors" function that use
"start_command" and "finish_command" to launch
"git rev-list $good ^$bad".
