strbuf: provide function to append whole lines

While the strbuf interface already provides functions to read a line
into it that completely replaces its current contents, we do not have an
interface that allows for appending lines without discarding current
contents.

Add a new function `strbuf_appendwholeline` that reads a line including
its terminating character into a strbuf non-destructively. This is a
preparatory step for git-update-ref(1) reading standard input line-wise
instead of as a block.
