date: use strbufs in date-formatting functions
Many of the date functions write into fixed-size buffers.
This is a minor pain, as we have to take special
precautions, and frequently end up copying the result into a
strbuf or heap-allocated buffer anyway (for which we
sometimes use strcpy!).
Let's instead teach parse_date, datestamp, etc to write to a
strbuf. The obvious downside is that we might need to
perform a heap allocation where we otherwise would not need
to. However, it turns out that the only two new allocations
required are:
1. In test-date.c, where we don't care about efficiency.
2. In determine_author_info, which is not performance
critical (and where the use of a strbuf will help later
refactoring).
