unique_path: fix unlikely heap overflow
When merge-recursive creates a unique filename, it uses a
template like:
path~branch_%d
where the final "_%d" is filled by an incrementing counter
until we find a unique name. We allocate 8 characters for
the counter, but there is no logic to limit the size of the
integer.
Of course, this is extremely unlikely, as you would need a
hundred million collisions to trigger the problem. Even if
an attacker constructed a specialized repo, it is unlikely
that the victim would have the patience to run the merge.
However, we can make it trivially correct (and hopefully
more readable) by using a strbuf.
