tree-walk: add a strbuf wrapper for make_traverse_path()
All but one of the callers of make_traverse_path() allocate a new heap
buffer to store the path. Let's give them an easy way to write to a
strbuf, which saves them from computing the length themselves (which is
especially tricky when they want to add to the path). It will also make
it easier for us to change the make_traverse_path() interface in a
future patch to improve its bounds-checking.
