bisect: check strbuf_getline_lf return when reading terms

get_terms() in builtin/bisect.c and read_bisect_terms() in
bisect.c both read the BISECT_TERMS file but do not check the
strbuf_getline_lf() return values. If the file is truncated
(e.g., a partial write from a crash or disk-full condition),
strbuf_getline_lf returns EOF and the strbuf remains empty.
strbuf_detach then returns an empty string, and the term names
silently become "" instead of the expected "bad"/"good" or
custom terms.

In get_terms(), check for EOF and return -1 on truncation,
matching the existing -1 return for a missing file.

In read_bisect_terms(), die with a descriptive message when a
line cannot be read, consistent with the die_errno for a
non-ENOENT open failure in the same function. Unlike get_terms(),
read_bisect_terms() returns void and uses die() for all error
paths, so the die is the appropriate error handling here.
