Subject: [PATCH] seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_cstr()

Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf:

1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize:

	struct seq_buf s;
	char buf[32];

	seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf));

Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide
DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this:

	DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32);

2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid
   C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of
   seq_buf):

	seq_buf_terminate(s);
	do_something(s->buffer);

Instead, we can just return s->buffer direction after terminating it
in refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_cstr():

	do_soemthing(seq_buf_cstr(s));
