[PATCH] patch-id.c: use strbuf instead of a fixed buffer

get_one_patchid() uses a rather dumb heuristic to determine if the passed buffer is part of the next commit. Whenever the first 40 bytes are a valid hexadecimal sha1 representation, get_one_patchid() returns next_sha1. Once the current line is longer than the fixed buffer, this will break (provided the additional bytes make a valid hexadecimal sha1). As a result patch-id returns incorrect results. Instead, user strbuf and read one line at a time.
