[PATCH v2 0/2] avoid unnecessary strbuf_split*() and strbuf-by-value usage

[Deveshi Dwivedi <deveshigurgaon@gmail.com>]

Junio's "do not overuse strbuf_split*()" series calls out remaining
uses of strbuf_split*() as leftover bits for others to continue.
This series picks up two of them.

write_worktree_linking_files() takes two struct strbuf parameters by
value even though it only needs plain path strings.

parse_combine_filter() in list-objects-filter-options.c uses
strbuf_split_str() to split a combine: filter spec at '+'.  An array
of strbufs is unnecessary; walking the string directly with
strchrnul() is simpler and cleaner.

Changes since v1:

 * Patch 1/2: no changes.

 * Patch 2/2: Incorporate review feedback from Jeff King.
   - Use strchrnul() instead of strchr() so the loop needs no
     separate "found separator?" branch or strlen() fallback.
   - Drop the unnecessary (size_t) cast on the length expression.
   - Always exclude '+' from the sub-spec via end - p, removing the
     incorrect conditional stripping.  A trailing '+' now causes the
     while (*p) condition to fail cleanly on the next iteration
     rather than passing an empty string to the parser.
   - Remove the test that expected an error on trailing '+', since
     that behavior was incorrect.
