strbuf_split*(): document functions

Document strbuf_split_buf(), strbuf_split_str(), strbuf_split_max(),
strbuf_split(), and strbuf_list_free() in the header file and in
api-strbuf.txt.  (These functions were previously completely
undocumented.)

`strbuf_split_buf`::
`strbuf_split_str`::
`strbuf_split_max`::
`strbuf_split`::
Split a string or strbuf into a list of strbufs at a specified
terminator character. The returned substrings include the
terminator characters. Some of these functions take a `max`
parameter, which, if positive, limits the output to that
number of substrings.
`strbuf_list_free`::
Free a list of strbufs (for example, the return values of the
`strbuf_split()` functions).
