bisect: fix leaking good/bad terms when reading multipe times

Even though `read_bisect_terms()` is declared as assigning string
constants, it in fact assigns allocated strings to the `read_bad` and
`read_good` out parameters. The only callers of this function assign the
result to global variables and thus don't have to free them in order to
be leak-free. But that changes when executing the function multiple
times because we'd then overwrite the previous value and thus make it
unreachable.

Fix the function signature and free the previous values. This leak is
exposed by t0630, but plugging it does not make the whole test suite
pass.
