real_path: remove unsafe API
Returning a shared buffer invites very subtle bugs due to reentrancy or
multi-threading, as demonstrated by the previous patch.
There was an unfinished effort to abolish this [1].
Let's finally rid of `real_path()`, using `strbuf_realpath()` instead.
This patch uses a local `strbuf` for most places where `real_path()` was
previously called.
However, two places return the value of `real_path()` to the caller. For
them, a `static` local `strbuf` was added, effectively pushing the
problem one level higher:
read_gitfile_gently()
get_superproject_working_tree()
