We do an unchecked sprintf directly into our url buffer.
This doesn't overflow because we know that it was sized for
"$base/objects/info/http-alternates", and we are writing
"$base/objects/info/alternates", which must be smaller. But
that is not immediately obvious to a reader who is looking
for buffer overflows. Let's switch to a strbuf, so that we
do not have to think about this issue at all.
