[PATCH] Properly git-bisect reset after bisecting from non-master head

git-bisect reset without an argument would return to master even
if the bisecting started at a non-master branch. This patch makes
it save the original branch name to .git/head-name and restore it
afterwards.

This is also compatible with Cogito and cg-seek, so cg-status will
show that we are seeked on the bisect branch and cg-reset will
properly restore the original branch.

git-bisect start will refuse to work if it is not on a bisect but
.git/head-name exists; this is to protect against conflicts with
other seeking tools.
