Fix some potential misuses of ast_str in the code.

Passing an ast_str pointer by value that then calls
ast_str_set(), ast_str_set_va(), ast_str_append(), or
ast_str_append_va() can result in the pointer originally
passed by value being invalidated if the ast_str had
to be reallocated.

This fixes places in the code that do this. Only the
example in ccss.c could result in pointer invalidation
though since the other cases use a stack-allocated ast_str
and cannot be reallocated.

I've also updated the doxygen in strings.h to include
notes about potential misuse of the functions mentioned
previously.
