strbuf: make strbuf_getline_crlf() global

Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user
(e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git
commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are
terminated with CRLF.  Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a
single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but
it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text"
input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka
<newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after
stripping <newline>.

Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented
privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others.

Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that
uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf()
and this is very much deliberate.  Some callers may want to treat an
incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a
payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement
will result in misconversion when done without code audit.
