We don't always need our own copy of a C string; sometimes we just need to parse it. Create py_str_borrow_c_str() which returns a char pointer to python's internal value string, with which we can avoid an extra copy.
We don't need our own copy of the string, so use the new borrowing mechanism to use python's underlying string for the key to get/set.

Often, we don't need our own copy of a C string as we're simply going to pass it to libgit2 and then free it. In those cases, we can skip the
strdupand use the underlying C string and use the refcount to make sure we have a valid pointer.It also fixes a leak in the
IndexEntrycode.
