str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external
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 sure to always include "common.h" first
Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares
various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we
have to make sure to always include this file first in all
implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even
silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being
defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation
files should make sure to always include "common.h" first.
This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header
files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first
other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make
it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation
files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include
this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as
first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead
include "common.h" as first file themselves.
This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice
for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.

Introduce `git_sysdir_expand_global_file`
Provide a mechanism for callers to expand the full path of a file in the
global configuration directory (that is to say, the home directory) even
if the file doesn't necessarily exist. This lets callers use their own
logic for building paths separate from handling file existence.

sysdir: use the standard `init` pattern
Don't try to determine when sysdirs are uninitialized. Instead, simply
initialize them all at `git_libgit2_init` time and never try to
reinitialize, except when consumers explicitly call `git_sysdir_set`.
Looking at the buffer length is especially problematic, since there may
no appropriate path for that value. (For example, the Windows-specific
programdata directory has no value on non-Windows machines.)
Previously we would continually trying to re-lookup these values,
which could get racy if two different threads are each calling
`git_sysdir_get` and trying to lookup / clear the value simultaneously.

config: add a ProgramData level
This is where portable git stores the global configuration which we can
use to adhere to it even though git isn't quite installed on the system.
