Stefan Beller c7e5fe79b9 strbuf.h: format according to coding guidelines
The previous patch suggested the strbuf header to be the leading example
of how we would want our APIs to be documented. This may lead to some
scrutiny of that code and the coding style (which is different from the
API documentation style) and hence might be taken as an example on how
to format code as well.

So let's format strbuf.h in a way that we'd like to see:
* omit the extern keyword from function declarations
* name all parameters (usually the parameters are obvious from its type,
  but consider exceptions like
  `int strbuf_getwholeline_fd(struct strbuf *, int, int);`
* break overly long lines

/**
* strbuf's are meant to be used with all the usual C string and memory
* APIs. Given that the length of the buffer is known, it's often better to
* use the mem* functions than a str* one (memchr vs. strchr e.g.).
* Though, one has to be careful about the fact that str* functions often
* stop on NULs and that strbufs may have embedded NULs.
*
* A strbuf is NUL terminated for convenience, but no function in the
* strbuf API actually relies on the string being free of NULs.
*
* strbufs have some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
*
* - The `buf` member is never NULL, so it can be used in any usual C
* string operations safely. strbuf's _have_ to be initialized either by
* `strbuf_init()` or by `= STRBUF_INIT` before the invariants, though.
*
* Do *not* assume anything on what `buf` really is (e.g. if it is
* allocated memory or not), use `strbuf_detach()` to unwrap a memory
* buffer from its strbuf shell in a safe way. That is the sole supported
* way. This will give you a malloced buffer that you can later `free()`.
*
* However, it is totally safe to modify anything in the string pointed by
* the `buf` member, between the indices `0` and `len-1` (inclusive).
*
* - The `buf` member is a byte array that has at least `len + 1` bytes
* allocated. The extra byte is used to store a `'\0'`, allowing the
* `buf` member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
* invariant is preserved.
*
* NOTE: It is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it this
* way:
*
* strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE); <1>
* strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
*
* <1> Here, the memory array starting at `sb->buf`, and of length
* `strbuf_avail(sb)` is all yours, and you can be sure that
* `strbuf_avail(sb)` is at least `SOME_SIZE`.
*
* NOTE: `SOME_OTHER_SIZE` must be smaller or equal to `strbuf_avail(sb)`.
*
* Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
* missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
*
* WARNING: Do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size `alloc
* - 1` even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
* "private" member that should not be messed with. Use `strbuf_avail()`
* instead.
