The sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev functions always
write into reusable static buffers. There are a few problems
with this:
- future calls overwrite our result. This is especially
annoying with find_unique_abbrev, which does not have a
ring of buffers, so you cannot even printf() a result
that has two abbreviated sha1s.
- if you want to put the result into another buffer, we
often strcpy, which looks suspicious when auditing for
overflows.
This patch introduces sha1_to_hex_to and find_unique_abbrev_to,
which write into a user-provided buffer. Of course this is
just punting on the overflow-auditing, as the buffer
obviously needs to be GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1 bytes. But it is
much easier to audit, since that is a well-known size.
We retain the non-reentrant forms, which just become thin
wrappers around the reentrant ones. This patch also adds a
strbuf variant of find_unique_abbrev, which will be handy in
later patches.

If we wanted to be really meticulous, these functions could
take a size for the output buffer, and complain if it is not
GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ+1 bytes. But that would bloat every call
like:
sha1_to_hex_to(buf, sizeof(buf), sha1);
