bisect: check get_terms return at all call sites

Six callers of get_terms() silently discard its return value. When
get_terms fails (missing or truncated BISECT_TERMS file), the term
strings remain NULL or empty, causing confusing downstream
behavior: commands like "bisect next" or "bisect run" proceed with
empty term strings, producing nonsensical ref names (refs/bisect/
with no suffix) and misleading error messages.

Add checks at each call site so that a failed get_terms produces a
clear "no terms defined" error, matching the pattern already used
in bisect_terms() at line 512. The check tests the term pointers
rather than the return value because some callers (bisect skip,
legacy bad/good) call set_terms before get_terms, and the
set_terms values should survive a get_terms failure.
