Use git_buf for path storage instead of stack-based buffers
This converts virtually all of the places that allocate GIT_PATH_MAX buffers on the stack for manipulating paths to use git_buf objects instead. The patch is pretty careful not to touch the public API for libgit2, so there are a few places that still use GIT_PATH_MAX. This extends and changes some details of the git_buf implementation to add a couple of extra functions and to make error handling easier. This includes serious alterations to all the path.c functions, and several of the fileops.c ones, too. Also, there are a number of new functions that parallel existing ones except that use a git_buf instead of a stack-based buffer (such as git_config_find_global_r that exists alongsize git_config_find_global). This also modifies the win32 version of p_realpath to allocate whatever buffer size is needed to accommodate the realpath instead of hardcoding a GIT_PATH_MAX limit, but that change needs to be tested still.
