strbuf_readlink(): avoid calling readlink() twice in corner-cases

Browse Source 
The `strbuf_readlink()` function calls `readlink()`` twice if the hint
argument specifies the exact size of the link target (e.g. by passing
stat.st_size as returned by `lstat()`). This is necessary because
`readlink(..., hint) == hint` could mean that the buffer was too small.

Use `hint + 1` as buffer size to prevent this.
