progress: store throughput display in a strbuf
Coverity noticed that we strncpy() into a fixed-size buffer
without making sure that it actually ended up
NUL-terminated. This is unlikely to be a bug in practice,
since throughput strings rarely hit 32 characters, but it
would be nice to clean it up.
The most obvious way to do so is to add a NUL-terminator.
But instead, this patch switches the fixed-size buffer out
for a strbuf. At first glance this seems much less
efficient, until we realize that filling in the fixed-size
buffer is done by writing into a strbuf and copying the
result!
By writing straight to the buffer, we actually end up more
efficient:
1. We avoid an extra copy of the bytes.
2. Rather than malloc/free each time progress is shown, we
can strbuf_reset and use the same buffer each time.
