The new name is closer to the purpose of the function.
A NUL-terminated buffer makes things easier when callers need that.
Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.
Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,
and alloc_nr is now used for growing the buffer, instead size=*2.

An implementation easier to call from builtins. It is designed
to be used from the upcoming builtin-tag.c and builtin-commit.c,
because both need to remove unwanted spaces from messages.

Now the implementation gets more memory to store completely
each line before removing trailing spaces, and does it right
when the last line of the file ends with spaces and no newline
at the end.
Function stripspace needs again to be non-static in order to call
it from "builtin-tag.c" and the upcoming "builtin-commit.c".
A new parameter skip_comments was also added to the stripspace
function to optionally strips every shell #comment from the input,
needed for doing this task on those programs.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

This changes the calling convention of built-in commands and
passes the "prefix" (i.e. pathname of $PWD relative to the
project root level) down to them.
