Fix in-place editing functions in convert.c

* crlf_to_git and ident_to_git:

  Don't grow the buffer if there is enough space in the first place.
  As a side effect, when the editing is done "in place", we don't grow, so
  the buffer pointer doesn't changes, and `src' isn't invalidated anymore.

  Thanks to Bernt Hansen for the bug report.

* apply_filter:

  Fix memory leak due to fake in-place editing that didn't collected the
  old buffer when the filter succeeds. Also a cosmetic fix.
