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.
