06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function partially in C, 2019-01-02) adds a lax parser for `git bisect start` which could result in a segfault under a bad syntax call. Detect if they are enough arguments left in the command line to use for --term-{old,good,new,bad} and throw the same syntax error the old shell script will show if not. While at it, remove and unnecessary (and incomplete) check for unknown arguments.
