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.

path: extract function to check whether a path supports symlinks
When initializing a repository, we need to check whether its working
directory supports symlinks to correctly set the initial value of the
"core.symlinks" config variable. The code to check the filesystem is
reusable in other parts of our codebase, like for example in our tests
to determine whether certain tests can be expected to succeed or not.
Extract the code into a new function `git_path_supports_symlinks` to
avoid duplicate implementations. Remove a duplicate implementation in
the repo test helper code.

symlink tests: test symbolic links on windows
Test updated symbolic link creation on Windows. Ensure that we emulate
Git for Windows behavior. Ensure that when `core.symlinks=true` is set
in a global configuration that new repositories are created without a
`core.symlinks` setting, and that when `core.symlinks` is unset that
`core.symlinks=false` in set in the repository. Further ensure that
checkout honors the expected `core.symlinks` defaults on Windows.

Remove the signature from ref-modifying functions
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.

refs: remove the _with_log differentiation
Any well-behaved program should write a descriptive message to the
reflog whenever it updates a reference. Let's make this more prominent
by removing the version without the reflog parameters.
