blob: don't recomment using git_buf_grow

We currently recommend using `git_buf_grow` in order to make a buffer
make an owned copy of the memory it points to. This is not behaviour we
should encourage, so remove this recommendation.

The function itself is not changed, as we need to remain compatible, but
it will be changed not to allow usage on borrowed buffers.
