strbuf: instate cleanup rule in case of non-memory errors

Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if
they have allocated it.  They don't shrink buffers that have been grown,
though.

This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call
strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had
to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves.

Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink.

NOTE: All of the functions in this section will grow the buffer as necessary.
If they fail for some reason other than memory shortage and the buffer hadn't
been allocated before (i.e. the `struct strbuf` was set to `STRBUF_INIT`),
then they will free() it.
