I do not think it is a good idea to force almost everybody to repeat
themselves.  As we can see here, all but just a single caller of
strbuf_add_lines() with this patch pass the same prefix for both
parameters.  If we need to make the current strbuf.c:add_lines()
also available to some specific callers, that is fine, but let's
keep the simpler version that almost everybody uses as-is, and give
the more complex and featureful one that is used only by selected
callers a longer and more cumbersome name.

Thanks.
