Ah, I wasn't aware of that.  Calling strbuf_grow() twice shouldn't be
thaaat bad.  However, I wonder where we duplicate strbufs, or why we
would ever want to do so.  Anyway, here's a patch for that:

Subject: strbuf: avoid calling strbuf_grow() twice in strbuf_addbuf()

Implement strbuf_addbuf() as a normal function in order to avoid calling
strbuf_grow() twice, with the second callinside strbud_add() being a
no-op.  This is slightly faster and also reduces the text size a bit.
