[PATCH 1/2] [Outreachy] gpg-interface: replace strbuf_split with string_list_split

get_ssh_finger_print() accepts a signing key and then uses pipe_command to execute the ssh-keygen command, gets its output and sets it in fingerprint_stdout.

The string in fingerprint_stdout is then split into 3 strbufs using strbuf_split_max(), however they are not modified after the split thereby not making use of the strbuf API as the fingerprint token is merely returned, hence they do not need to be strbufs.

Use string_list_split instead for simplicity.

Note that strbuf_split_max uses 3 to specify the number of tokens to extract from the string, while string_list_split uses 2 because it specifies the number of times the split will be done on the string, so 2 gives 3 tokens as it is in the initial instance.
