When bisect successfully finds a single revision, the first bad commit
should be shown to human readers of 'git bisect log'.

This resolves the apparent disconnect between the bisection result and
the log when a bug reporter says "I know that the first bad commit is
$rev, as you can see from $(git bisect log)".

I don't know how useful the added test is, I didn't find any existing
tests that looks at the comment parts of bisect log.
