* [PATCH] git-bisect: do not get confused by packed-ref

If an unfortunate user runs a pack-ref while a git-bisect is
active, refs/bisect/* references will stay behind even after the
git-bisect finishes, because the clean-up code only paid
attention to loose refs.  This has a potential to confuse later
bisect runs greatly.

Ideally we should further fix parts that manually creates the
good references refs/bisect/good-*, and updates bad reference
refs/bisect/bad, but that is a cleanliness not correctness
issue.  For 1.5.3, this minimum fix should do.
