[PATCH] Rework strbuf API and semantics.

[Pierre Habouzit <madcoder@debian.org>]

  A strbuf can be used to store byte arrays, or as an extended string
library. The `buf' member can be passed to any C legacy string function,
because strbuf operations always ensure there is a terminating \0 at the end
of the buffer, not accounted in the `len' field of the structure.

  A strbuf can be used to generate a string/buffer whose final size is not
really known, and then "strbuf_detach" can be used to get the built buffer,
and keep the wrapping "strbuf" structure usable for further work again.

  Other interesting feature: strbuf_grow(sb, size) ensure that there is
enough allocated space in `sb' to put `size' new octets of data in the
buffer. It helps avoiding reallocating data for nothing when the problem the
strbuf helps to solve has a known typical size.
