[03/20] strbuf: fix leak when `appendwholeline()` fails with EOF

Commit Message

In `strbuf_appendwholeline()` we call `strbuf_getwholeline()` with a
temporary buffer. In case the call returns an error we indicate this by
returning EOF, but never release the temporary buffer. This can lead to
a memory leak when the line has been partially filled. Fix this.
