rev-list: refuse --first-parent combined with --bisectkd/rev-list-bisect-first-parent
rev-list --bisect is used by git bisect, but never together with --first-parent. Because rev-list --bisect together with --first-parent is not handled currently, and even leads to segfaults, refuse to use both options together. Because this is not supported, it makes little sense to use git log --bisect --first parent either, because refs/heads/bad is not limited to the first parent chain. Helped-by: Junio C.
