Let's consider the following case:
- the direction is down,
- no cached entry,
- the array has 5 entry objects,
- the function test_object() reutns TEST_LEFT for the 1st object,
- the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th objects are broken, so generic_array_bisect_step()
returns TEST_RIGHT for the object.
Then, previously, generic_array_bisect_step() updated the values like the following:
0th: (m = 5, left = 0, right = 4, i = 4) -> (m = 4, left = 0, right = 3, RIGHT)
1st: (m = 4, left = 0, right = 3, i = 1) -> (m = 4, left = 2, right = 3, LEFT)
2nd: (m = 4, left = 2, right = 3, i = 2) -> (m = 2, left = 2, right = 1, RIGHT) <- ouch!!
So, assert(left < right) in generic_array_bisect() was triggered.
See issue #30210.
In such situation, there is no matching entry in the array. By returning
TEST_GOTO_PREVIOUS, generic_array_bisect() handles the result so.
Fixes a bug introduced by ab8f553d1e.
Fixes #30210.
