Rethink API for pg_get_line.c, one more time.
Further experience says that the appending behavior offered by
pg_get_line_append is useful to only a very small minority of callers.
For most, the requirement to reset the buffer after each line is just
an error-prone nuisance. Hence, invent another alternative call
pg_get_line_buf, which takes care of that detail.
Noted while reviewing a patch from Daniel Gustafsson.
