Using the insteadof helper would leak memory when we didn't really want
the pushInsteadOf configuration.  Refactor the choice into the function
that allocates memory (or now, not) and use a more idiomatic `int`
return code.

libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by
`git_buf`.  We require:

1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs
   for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc).
2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they
   can take ownership of.

By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have
confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and
reasoning about correctness is also difficult.

Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents
its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class.  The name also
is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr").

The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint.  It
is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that
follow the documentation.  (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to
avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.)

Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a
`git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it
back again.

Make some syntax change to follow coding style.

Update the proxy detection for a remote.

1. Honor `http.<url>.proxy` syntax for a remote's direct URL and
   parent URLs.
2. Honor an empty configuration URL to override a proxy configuration.

Add tests to ensure that configuration specificity is honored.
