reftable/record: use scratch buffer when decoding records

When decoding log records we need a temporary buffer to decode the
reflog entry's name, mail address and message. As this buffer is local
to the function we thus have to reallocate it for every single log
record which we're about to decode, which is inefficient.

Refactor the code such that callers need to pass in a scratch buffer,
which allows us to reuse it for multiple decodes. This reduces the
number of allocations when iterating through reflogs. Before:

    HEAP SUMMARY:
        in use at exit: 13,473 bytes in 122 blocks
      total heap usage: 2,068,487 allocs, 2,068,365 frees, 305,122,946 bytes allocated

After:

    HEAP SUMMARY:
        in use at exit: 13,473 bytes in 122 blocks
      total heap usage: 1,068,485 allocs, 1,068,363 frees, 281,122,886 bytes allocated

Note that this commit also drop some redundant calls to `strbuf_reset()`
right before calling `decode_string()`. The latter already knows to
reset the buffer, so there is no need for these.
