Knowing which version of Git a user has and how it was built allows us
to more precisely pin down the circumstances when a certain issue
occurs, so teach bugreport how to tell us the same output as 'git
version --build-options'.

It's not ideal to directly call 'git version --build-options' because
that output goes to stdout. Instead, wrap the version string in a helper
within help.[ch] library, and call that helper from within the bugreport
library.

It is a bit curious use of "don't do anything if sys_info ends with
a complete line, but complete it if it ends with an imcomplete
line".  That tells the readers that we do not know what
get_version_info() will do (now or in the future) to its output
buffer.

This ends the output with a complete line when !show_build_options ...

... and the pattern indicates the output will end with a complete
line when !!show_build_options, too.

So, was the strbuf_complete_line() merely defensive programming?  It
may deserve a comment if it will stay there.

Makes sense.

It was meant defensively, here and elsewhere in the series. I figured
that for something like this, which is mostly bounded by human writing
in an editor and then by file IO, spurious string-checking was not such
a big deal.

Are you suggesting to comment around the strbuf_complete_line() calls,
or to comment around get_version_info() that it should end in newline?

I meant a comment in get_system_info() next to the use of this
particular use of strbuf_complete_line(), if the use stays there.

But after reading the whole series through, I saw no need to use
strbuf_complete_line() in the first place, as there is no source of
input that is not under our control (if we do not count sloppy
programming, that is).
