strbuf: avoid static variables in strbuf_add_commented_lines()

In strbuf_add_commented_lines(), we have to convert the single-byte
comment_line_char into a string to pass to add_lines(). We cache the
created string using a static-local variable. But this makes the
function non-reentrant, and it's doubtful that this provides any real
performance benefit given that we know the string always contains a
single character.

So let's just create it from scratch each time, and to give the compiler
the maximal opportunity to make it fast we'll ditch the over-complicated
xsnprintf() and just assign directly into the array.
