[PATCH 2/3] format_config: simplify buffer handling

[Jeff King <peff@peff.net>]

When formatting a config value into a strbuf, we may end
up stringifying it into a fixed-size buffer using sprintf,
and then copying that buffer into the strbuf. We can
eliminate the middle-man (and drop some calls to sprintf!)
by writing directly to the strbuf.

The reason it was written this way in the first place is
that we need to know before writing the value whether to
insert a delimiter. Instead of delaying the write of the
value, we speculatively write the delimiter, and roll it
back in the single case that cares.

I admit the rollback is a little gross. The other option would be adding
the delimiter in each of the conditional branches, which is also kind of
nasty. Or we could leave the buffer-write as-is, and replace the
sprintfs with snprintfs (this is actually something I was doing in
another branch, which is why I took particular notice; your patch
conflicts with my to-be-submitted branch :) ).
