`strtok()` has a couple of drawbacks that make it undesirable to have any new instances. In addition to being thread-unsafe, it also encourages confusing data flows, where `strtok()` may be called from multiple functions with its first argument as NULL, making it unclear from the immediate context which string is being tokenized. Now that we have removed all instances of `strtok()` from the tree, let's ban `strtok()` to avoid introducing new ones in the future. If new callers should arise, they are encouraged to use `string_list_split_in_place()` (and `string_list_remove_empty_items()`, if applicable). string_list_split_in_place() is not a perfect drop-in replacement for `strtok_r()`, particularly if the caller is processing a string with an arbitrary number of tokens, and wants to process each token one at a time. But there are no instances of this in Git's tree which are more well-suited to `strtok_r()` than the friendlier `string_list_split_in_place()`, so ban `strtok_r()`, too.
