Leaking 'strbuf s' here.

Also, this operation can be expressed more concisely as:

    strbuf_utf8_align(&s, ...);
    strbuf_swap(&state->output, &s);
    strbuf_release(&s);

Seeing this is also making me question my earlier suggestion of making
pop_state() responsible for appending the current state's output to
the previous state's output. The reason is that if align_handler() is
responsible for appending to the previous state's output, then all the
above string handling collapses to the one line:

    strbuf_utf8_align(&state->prev->output, ..., state->output.buf);

which is even simpler, and doesn't involve a temporary strbuf or
swapping of strbuf contents.

On the other hand, it won't always be the case that all handlers can
get by with such simple code, and they might end up creating temporary
strbuf(s) and such anyhow, so I don't feel too strongly about it, and
it can always be changed at a later date (by someone) if that approach
ends up being better.
