After the last few commits, we don't have many users of `strbuf_attach()`.

Convert the sites in builtin/am.c, strbuf.c and mailinfo.c. They pass in the same length twice for `len` and `mem` and will eventually hit `realloc(3)`, which will be a no-op. The string in am.c has been constructed using the strbuf machinery in `read_commit_msg()`. In strbuf.c, we've used `reencode_string_iconv()`. In mailinfo.c, we used `reencode_string_len()`. So in all cases, we really do have an extra byte at the end with a NUL.

As explained in the previous commit, it's not just that we avoid calling `realloc()` to make room for a single NUL byte that we already have, we avoid asking it for 16 more bytes and another 50% on top of that.
