[PATCH/RFC v1 0/5] add strbuf_set operations

[Jeremiah Mahler <jmmahler@gmail.com>]

Currently, the data in a strbuf is modified using add operations.  To
set the buffer to some data a reset must be performed before an add.
    
  strbuf_reset(buf);
  strbuf_add(buf, cb.buf.buf, cb.buf.len);
    
And this is a common sequence of operations with 70 occurrences found in
the current source code.  This includes all the different variations
(add, addf, addstr, addbuf, addch).
    
  FILES=`find ./ -name '*.c'`
  CNT=$(pcregrep -M "strbuf_reset.*\n.*strbuf_add" $FILES | wc -l)
  CNT=$(echo "$CNT / 2" | bc)
  echo $CNT
  70
    
These patches add strbuf_set operations which allow this common sequence
to be performed in one line instead of two.
    
  strbuf_set(buf, cb.buf.buf, cb.buf.len);

Only the first few files have been converted in this preliminary patch set.
