Pierre Habouzit 7a33bcbe80 sq_quote_argv and add_to_string rework with strbuf's.
* sq_quote_buf is made public, and works on a strbuf.
* sq_quote_argv also works on a strbuf.
* make sq_quote_argv take a "maxlen" argument to check the buffer won't grow
  too big.

/* Help to copy the thing properly quoted for the shell safety.
* any single quote is replaced with '\'', any exclamation point
* is replaced with '\!', and the whole thing is enclosed in a
* single quote pair.
*
* For example, if you are passing the result to system() as an
* argument:
*
* sprintf(cmd, "foobar %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1))
*
* would be appropriate. If the system() is going to call ssh to
* run the command on the other side:
*
* sprintf(cmd, "git-diff-tree %s %s", sq_quote(arg0), sq_quote(arg1));
* sprintf(rcmd, "ssh %s %s", sq_quote(host), sq_quote(cmd));
*
* Note that the above examples leak memory! Remember to free result from
* sq_quote() in a real application.
*
* sq_quote_buf() writes to an existing buffer of specified size; it
* will return the number of characters that would have been written
* excluding the final null regardless of the buffer size.
