The best way to add one strbuf to an other is via:
strbuf_addbuf(&sb, &sb2);
This is a bit more idiomatic and efficient than:
strbuf_addstr(&sb, sb2.buf);
because the size of the second strbuf is known and thus it can spare a
strlen() call, and much more so than:
strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s", sb2.buf);
because it can spare the whole vsnprintf() formatting magic.
Add new semantic patches to 'contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci' to catch
these undesired patterns and to suggest strbuf_addbuf() instead.
Luckily, our codebase is already clean from any such undesired
patterns (but one of the in-flight topics just tried to sneak in such
a strbuf_addf() call).
