strbuf: provide function to append whole lines
While the strbuf interface already provides functions to read a line into it that completely replaces its current contents, we do not have an interface that allows for appending lines without discarding current contents. Add a new function `strbuf_appendwholeline` that reads a line including its terminating character into a strbuf non-destructively. This is a preparatory step for git-update-ref(1) reading standard input line-wise instead of as a block.
