From: Bill Wendling <[email protected]>

Several strlcat() call sites being converted to seq_buf need behavior
seq_buf doesn't currently provide. The normal seq_buf_init() always
sets the new buffer size to 0 via seq_buf_clear(). Code migrating from
strlcat(buf, ...), which appends to whatever buf already contains,
can't use seq_buf_init() without discarding that existing content. Add
seq_buf_init_append(), which preserves the existing contents and positions
the seq_buf to append after it. Add KUnit tests for behavior coverage.

Tests passed under qemu on ARCH=x86_64 with GCC 16.2.0 and CONFIG_KASAN=y,
and on big-endian ARCH=s390 with GCC s390x-linux-gnu 16.1.0.
