[PATCH v1 2/2] list-objects-filter-options: avoid strbuf_split_str()

[Deveshi Dwivedi <deveshigurgaon@gmail.com>]

parse_combine_filter() splits a combine: filter spec at '+' using
strbuf_split_str(), which yields an array of strbufs with the
delimiter left at the end of each non-final piece.  The code then
mutates each non-final piece to strip the trailing '+' before parsing.

Allocating an array of strbufs is unnecessary.  The function processes
one sub-spec at a time and does not use strbuf editing on the pieces.
The two helpers it calls, has_reserved_character() and
parse_combine_subfilter(), only read the string content of the strbuf
they receive.

Walk the input string directly with strchr() to find each '+'.  Copy
each sub-spec into a temporary buffer and strip the '+' only when
another sub-spec follows.  Change the helpers to take const char *
instead of struct strbuf *.
