bisect--helper: `bisect_clean_state` shell function in C

Reimplement `bisect_clean_state` shell function in C and add a
`bisect-clean-state` subcommand to `git bisect--helper` to call it from
git-bisect.sh .

Using `--bisect-clean-state` subcommand is a measure to port shell
function to C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions
are ported, this subcommand will be retired but its implementation  will
be called by bisect_reset() and bisect_start().

Also introduce a function `mark_for_removal` to store the refs which
need to be removed while iterating through the refs.
