Expose patch serialization to git_buf Returning library-allocated strings from libgit2 works fine on Linux, but may cause problems on Windows because there is no one C Runtime that everything links against. With libgit2 not exposing its own allocator, freeing the string is a gamble. git_patch_to_str already serializes to a buffer, then returns the underlying memory. Expose the functionality directly, so callers can use the git_buf_free function to free the memory later.
