This patch is a minor performance tweak.

The existing code often uses buffer_add() to append a single character
to a growing buffer.  In these cases the new version uses the
OSRF_BUFFER_ADD_CHAR macro instead.

At one time, buffer_add_char() added a single character by creating
a one-character string and passing it to buffer_add().  It was more
efficient to call buffer_add() directly, even for a single character.

The current implementation of buffer_add_char() does not rely on
buffer_add(), nor does the corresponding macro OSRF_BUFFER_ADD_CHAR.
They are faster than buffer_add() because they don't have to call any
functions such as strlen() or strcpy() for a one-character string.
