set_git_dir: fix crash when used with real_path()

`real_path()` returns result from a shared buffer, inviting subtle
reentrance bugs. One of these bugs occur when invoked this way:
    set_git_dir(real_path(git_dir))

In this case, `real_path()` has reentrance:
    real_path
    read_gitfile_gently
    repo_set_gitdir
    setup_git_env
    set_git_dir_1
    set_git_dir

Later, `set_git_dir()` uses its now-dead parameter:
    !is_absolute_path(path)

Fix this by using a dedicated `strbuf` to hold `strbuf_realpath()`.
