Subject: bisect: document command line arguments for "bisect start"
X-Git-Tag: v2.43.2~2^2

bisect: document command line arguments for "bisect start"

The syntax commonly used for alternatives is --opt-(a|b), not
--opt-{a,b}.

List bad/new and good/old consistently in this order, to be
consistent with the description for "git bisect terms".  Clarify
<term> to either <term-old> or <term-new> to make them consistent
with the description of "git bisect (good|bad)" subcommands.
