This refactors the `infer_backlink` function to return an integer result and use a pre-allocated `strbuf` for the inferred backlink path, replacing the previous `char*` return type. This lays the groundwork for the next patch, which needs the resultant backlink as a `strbuf`. There was no need to go from `strbuf -> char* -> strbuf` again. This change also aligns the function's signature with other `strbuf`-based functions.I think we should first say why we need to add the change in the commit message which means we should express our motivation in the first. It's wired to say "I have done something" and then talk about the motivation why we do this.quoted

The patches got corrupted by something. See the emails from Eric Sunshine. This resubmit didn’t fix the issue. https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAPig+cTB-sA-g4cdhfEjWwY1mnbWJ41e=bOCNwp=Y8JKvpmpRg@mail.gmail.com/ (local) -- Kristoffer Haugsbakk
