Change the strbuf_grow() function so that GCC v12's -fanalyze doesn't yell at us about sb->buf[0] dereferencing NULL, this also makes this code easier to follow. This BUG() should be unreachable since the state of our "sb->buf" and "sb->alloc" goes hand-in-hand, but -fanalyzer isn't smart enough to know that, and adding the BUG() also makes it clearer to human readers that that's what happens here.
